As an artist, I know how frustrating it is to even think about getting your artwork shown. All you need to do is browse through the internet to see the tremendous amount of activity in the art world. It’s hard to understand where to even begin or know if your art even fits in. It seems that everyone is getting their art shown but you. It could be a frustrating long time waiting for someone to notice your talent and ask to exhibit your work.

Is this you? Never fear, because taking even the tiniest steps toward increasing the visibility of your artwork can have a powerful effect on your perspective. It can change your whole point of view.

Step#1 You must be ready and confident to show your artwork. 

Taking the time to decide whether you are prepared to enter the world of art exhibition is a time consuming and important step. The question whether to keep your art work to yourself or share with others will be with you all your professional life.

Being ready means having a body of work that shows a consistency of ideas and control of the medium.

Confidence means inviting outside opinions, comments and criticism of your artwork without allowing them to effect the delicate balance of your attitude or determination.

Determining whether you are truly ready to show your work is a critical first step to getting your work in front of the public. There are many steps of consideration. I will be blogging about these in the future. Until then, just keep producing your artwork and have tons of fun.
