Thank you Nick!

Thank you :)

Nothing in life is easy, so you might just as well give it a 100% for a year or two and see where it gets you:)

Took me 8 years almost, but went from painter to producer and opened an online art sales platform and now collaborate on artistic projects with many of the largest institutions in my country. Turned out painting wasnt as interesting for me as making art happen but Im saying you can do a lot if you put your mind to it:)

Actually a lot of really great artists in my country post their work on Instagram and have had success in selling their works (3-5k paintings) on IG. So I think IG in particular is great for marketing and does not really feel like it would cheapen the experience in any way. People use Instagram to try to decide if they want to go on holliday to Bora Bora, because their friends whent there, so why not make an art purchase the same way. :)

Thank you:)

For me it was either hands on goong to openings and getting to know the people involved, this works best i believe, or se ding out cold calls and emails, dms and tags but this usually dosnt get the attention obe would like. Try getting to know anyone who works there or just casually talk to people in the wider field, eventually one person knows another and if you turn up a lot they will start to notice you and after a while you have a better chance of trying to persuade them into showi g your work, best though if another artist recomends you, this is usually how you get a show:)

Thank you! :)

@@SurvivingArt May the universe bless you my friend.

Thank you. I’m glad it was useful! :)

thank you Simon! Im glad you liked it, I appreciate it a lot!

I fully agree. Much of what is discussed about well more or less any problems we are facing tends to underemphasise the importance of a strong middle ground between views.

@@SurvivingArt I bet you always find a clever way to agree with others

You are most welcome! Context is king/queen for sure! And it sound as if you have a really good perspective on the idea of the spectator/consumer of your work, as it is really a world of possibilities and questions regarding the interpretations and relations that other people appart for us who made the work actually form when in contact, and especially when being given the option to make first contact! That's a reason why I really love sincere marketing, it's a beutiful artform if done right!

Youre most welcome!:)

You’re welcome!

Links still don't work

@@VeryPrivateGallery I'm actually from Slovenia, so running costs are 400e + about 50e insurance, so I get that. Not sure how it is in your country though, but I'm sure all of them have at least some option for cultural workers, here for example you can get a special status where the government pays for everything except additional health insurance which is about 35e, and it's not that hard to get so quite a lot of people apply. For now a model that has been working great for me and others here is EU and national call for tenders, that's what I have been currently living off for the past 2 years and albeit I'm not sure what the coming crisis will bring, I'm sure a slight adjustment could still fund most of ones expenses and work arrangements in the EU? But i get a few smaller countries like ours can be a pin in the ass regarding working in the arts.
