As of late the creative industries are in turmoil over the purposed cuts in arts funding just see #artsfunding or Arts Funding and give any support you can in lobbing the government.
It is important to remember while funding is important for the creative industries in the plastic art Artists/Galleries have greater control over their own progression. Over the last week I’ve been writing up ideas for a mentoring scheme with early career artists and here are ten one line tips based on that (currently 3 pages of mostly points to expand on)
So:-
-Be professional, you profile is key.
-Always give everything you’ve got, not just making art but the boring jobs too.
-Be organized, it will help no end when working with others.
-Ensure Quality in the work, presentation, documentation & every aspect.
-Network, most people hate it but how will people get to know you otherwise?
-Keep your practice coherent.
-Target yourself in a market don’t just go for every opportunity.
-When applying for exhibitions only send the information requested.
-Don’t over price yourself early on and keep the work original.
-Love what your doing, your passion will shine through.
This also works backwards for collectors, when buying early career artists work look out for an artist following these tips.
If any artists would like advice although very busy Revolving Gallery is happy to give some pointers, we hope to help develop artists and there careers. Contact nathan@revolving-gallery.com
