If you want to make a living as an artist, your work has to be valuable to people. Some group or community of people that are looking for what you provide has to support you monetarily in some way.
The internet is one way to reach those people, but it’s not the only way.
As an artist you may want to get out of your office or studio and go out into the world with you work. That way you can show it off personally.
Some of the best places to do this is at show or conventions. By “shows” I would include not only local craft fairs but also, farmers markets, and things like that.
If you think that’s not you, I made a video giving you 6 reasons why you’re missing out if you don’t do this sort of thing.
Here’s the list of reasons I give in the video:
- You open yourself to new opportunities
- You’re a person not a website. You make a physical human connection with your audience.
- You can make friends and connections, with fans and artists.
- You can discover what people want from you and what draws them to your art.
- You can learn from other artists.
- You can make money.
Can you think of any other benefits? Feel free to add to the list in the comments.
