As I mentioned before, it was a juried show, which is always such a crap shoot. I know quite a few women that were not juried in and their work is FANTASTIC. So why didn’t they make it in?

One has to wonder. It is a question I have had to ask myself when I didn’t get in a show. Was it the work? Was it the venue? Was it me? Was it all of the above?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Which is why I have recently starting reading books, blogs, and attending talks and workshops on art marketing. And it has helped me. Not necessarily by getting into a specific show, but by educating me for the long haul. Again, always a good thing.

So I want to share some of my favorites with you. Feel free to pass along your favorites too as I am always open to educational stuff.
I read Copy Blogger and ArtBiz Blog on a regular basis as they cover tons of pertinant info on marketing. ArtBiz addressed the jurying subject specifically back in June.
Also, I recently I attended a workshop by Alyson B Stanfield of ArtBizBlog in Jacksonville, which was great. If you haven’t read her book, I’d Rather Be in the Studio, I would highly recommend it.
Good stuff, all of it.
And that, my friends brings me to what I am thankful for on this day before Thanksgiving:
to be able to pursue my passion, and continue to grow while doing so, surrounded by loving family and friends, even if at times it is a crap shoot.
I wish you the best of luck in the shows you enter! May they all be "yeses."
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
