How to be an Empowered Artist Thriving Artists Podcast

    • Visual Arts

In this episode, Kaylan takes over the podcast! In Episode #13 of Thriving Artist, Podcast, How to be an Empowered Artist, Kaylan talks about knowing and valuing ourselves as artists.
Encouraging and supporting artists to find confidence in their work and their careers is at the heart of this podcast and Thrive Together Network. It can be so easy to get down on ourselves, to feel lost and without a compass, or to feel lonely and like no one is out there who understands. We want you to have a healthy mindset, to feel confident in your decisions and to live empowered lives as an artist … THAT is how we will influence the art world and our communities around us.
 
Kaylan’s 5 Tips for being an empowered artist are:
 
Clarify your Vision + Build your North Star: Make sure your vision for your art career is clear to you right now. Your North Star is your personal mission statement. It's a fixed destination that you can depend on in your life as the world changes around you.

Strengthen Your “Building Boundaries” Muscle: Empowered artists have STRONG  and CLEAR boundaries! We know how we want to spend our time and we make decisions to protect our resources. 
 
Make time for yourself that is JUST FOR YOURSELF: Can we really feel empowered as artists unless we have a deep knowledge, understanding, and like for ourselves as individuals? Get away once or twice a year and sleep, nourish your body with good food, and get tuned in with your thoughts.

Surround Yourself with Positive Peers: Be more empowered by surrounding yourself with empowered people! These are people who inspire you, who delight in you, who appreciate you and who support you.

Be Intentional about Closing Your Loops: It is important for artists to not get caught up in cycles of continual production and projects without closing our loops. We need to implement PAUSING and RECOGNIZE the work we have done, and most importantly CELEBRATE!
