Level Up Artists Adriana Ameigh,Jackie Sanders

It’s time for our listener questions! In this episode we answer questions from artists and art professionals that we received at Triangle Artworks 2024 Annual SMASH the Arts event. We cover a lot of topics including struggling to find like minded artists locally, pricing your work in order to make a living, staying authentic to your creative voice while still narrowing down your focus, seeing yourself as a ‘real’ artist, as well as marketing, branding, and getting exposure as a new artist. So if you have similar questions, this episode is for you!
