 Lemme tellya a thing or three
Dear Artists,
as you may know, I like you. I want you to succeed. Either by doing your own thing your own way (coffee shops, collectives, out of your studio, whateves) or by breaking into a gallery. Every day at the gallery I work at, I interact with artists. And boy howdy, have I learned a lot about what one should and should not do to become part of the gallery system. Also, running this here little blog, I’ve tracked artists appearances throughout town. What that participate in, how they promote themselves. With all my keen observation, I’ve formed some options, which I would like to share with you in the form of unsolicited advice.
Today’s advice: Google it. It being you, yourself. Although yes, you should periodically enter your name into a popular search engine to see what comes up, I want to tell you about other free features you should be utilizing. You know when you land on google.com there’s a series of word on the top left, one of them being “more”. You should click the more, and then the “even more.” (more…)
