We virtually discussed: Street level art galleries, the model of how the river boats on the Mississippi river work, No single person in the industry knows the entire path to success, Plan your career in short distances, do not plan on being the rock star, Start with you own local market and expand from there, Sylvester Stallone artwork, The importance of having a compelling story behind the artwork, Artist statements, acknowledge your influences, Trends in why art collectors collect, ‘This piece of art reflects who I am’ style of collecting, Building a successful commercial career necessitates compromises, Know your audience, The Supermodel and the Brillo Box: Back Stories and Peculiar Economics from the World of Contemporary Art, The fact that Art schools choose not to teach how to make a business out of their art because it would show the students that there is a low potential for success, Art school is just a foundation, once an artist graduates from school, then they start building a career. Artist should not be looking to other artists CV’s to figure out how to construct their careers, they should be looking for what is the unique thing that they can do that no other artist can do. Trying to figure out ‘why’ you make your art, and ‘why’ it shoddy be impactful on a viewer, galleria, curator, collector is very difficult to quantify. The story of your artwork needs to be transportable, Most of the great ‘artist discovery’ stories are so special because they are more the exception than the rule. Don’t let your own professional goals stand in the way of great opportunities right in front of you, The parable of the Blind Men and an Elephant, and The cultural need of humbleness.
