-
- Visual Arts
This week on the show Ping is answering an intriguing question she has received from one of her listeners, and a question that most new artists ask themselves - “I am an unknown artist, how can I become known and make a living from my art?” - Through sharing her own journey, the ups and downs that came along the way, and finally her success, Ping covers this topic in depth and reveals the secrets that will take you from a budding artist to full time professional.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don’t jump to the end first! This is a mistake Ping sees a lot with new artists, they try to get straight into galleries and sell their art for big money, but this approach never works. Ping shares what she believes are the best first steps for an artist to take. How can you get where you want to go if you don’t know where that is? Ping talks about the importance of having a plan and knowing what type of art you want to create. Don’t expect people to come to you, you have to go to them too. Ping explains how building a network and advertising yourself in the right places can help you achieve your goals faster. A lot of artists find it difficult to charge for their work, but, as Ping explains, you have to separate the business side from the creative side otherwise you’ll just be a hobbyist. BEST MOMENTS
“You’re not just selling a piece of art, you’re selling your years of experience.”
“Like anything else, becoming a professional artist takes time, hard work and perseverance.”
“If you want people to buy your art, you have to create it like it’s your business and not a hobby.”
