Article
Persistence Pays off for Determined Artists
Geoffrey Gorman, www.artistcube.com
I am always interested to hear how artists succeed in selling their work in the art world, which lately has been up and down. Most artists don't have an advisor to help them, galleries don't seem to have as much time for career development and unfortunately the days of being discovered are over. Therefore, I have come up with some tips to help artists succeed.
SET YEARLY, FIVE-YEAR AND ULTIMATE CAREER GOALS - The goals that you plan are a road map for your career. Be realistic but at the same time don't be afraid to dream about your goals. Be prepared to change and re-prioritize your goals as different opportunities arise. Identify both 6-month goals and yearly goals that you want to reach.
