It is a wonderful opportunity.
I
read a post by an Artist complaining that there is to many Artists
and paintings in the market now and how hard it was to sell Art.
Yes
it is true that there has never before been as many Artists as there
are today but also there is more Art sold today than ever before.
We
live in a new age where the Art business like most businesses is
having to change and evolve because of the disruption that the
Internet has bought upon us.
Now
it easy to complain about there being so many Artists today and so
much Art work up for sale, yet we live in a vibrant Art market.
The
problem is not to many Artists or paintings for sale, the problem is
that Artists have to change and change can be hard.
Today
the majority of Artists have to sell their own Art and so they have
to learn new skills that the Artist of yesterday never had to deal
with and I think that is a game changer.
We
have the opportunity to manage our own careers like no Artists before
us, we are in control of our own destinies.
This
also comes with the responsibility for us to promote our own work and
get the attention of strangers.
We
can do this for free on the Internet, it is up to us to use this
wonderful opportunity or let it pass us by.
You
can do videos and stories of your work and you can do an unlimited
amount, Facebook puts no limits on how much you want to upload, what
an amazing opportunity to promote yourself.
Every
day I am amazed that I can write a blog and make a video and I can
post them for free on many sites and I do not need to get anyone's
permission.
Grasp
this opportunity that is before us, do not take it for granted, use
it while it is available, make a video, write stories about your Art,
get the attention of strangers, be different, but don’t say it’s
to hard, this is a wonderful opportunity to grow your Art career.
