Talented artists surround themselves with other talented artists. Meet new people and engage in new conversations.
The only way for emerging artists to enter this conversation, is to conduct and maintain connections with their fellow artists they meet out in the world, whether through school, residencies, group shows, openings, travel, or a great party.
Dialogue between artists is beneficial on many levels. It can inspire new trends and directions in the artwork. More strategically, it is also an effective way to exchange information on galleries with interesting programs and group shows or whether they are looking for new artists.
Participation in group shows opens artists to a larger group of artists, curators, and gallerists. Gallerists, in particular, use group shows as an opportunity to get to know artists and their work.
It is important to be visible, stay visible, and understand that the art world is multifaceted.
