    Time Stamps:

    Preparing for an Art Show: "Having your work in a public art or gallery show is vital for making a name for yourself."

    [00:00:06 → 00:00:11]

    Art Exhibition Strategy: "Choose a single piece or cohesive selection of work that represents your unique creative style. Consider the dynamic of your audience and choose work that will be compelling and offer a lasting impression."

    [00:01:32 → 00:01:44]

    Selecting Art for Your Audience: "This is one of the hardest things sometimes for people to separate their love of an art piece versus what might be more compelling to their audience. So put some thought into this."

    [00:02:17 → 00:02:29]

    Art Exhibition Preparation: "All of your work should be ready to display, meaning hardware ready for installation and complying with whatever the art show restrictions are."

    [00:03:48 → 00:03:59]

    Effective Artwork Presentation: "Then you're gonna print a title block on card stock with an easy-to-read font. This is where you add bullet points or short lines of information with proper spacing. This title block will have your name or the artist's name, the artwork title, but it will also contain the art medium, the size of the piece, and the price if you're selling that piece of art."

    [00:05:28 → 00:05:52]

    Maximizing Networking Opportunities at Trade Shows: "Bring branded materials, especially if you're gonna be there at the show, meaning business cards or contact information. Again, that QR code makes it easy. If you don't wanna deal with that, people can just scan that QR code, and it'll take them to your website. But it's not a bad idea to also have some kind of branded materials that you can give to someone if they're a fan of your work."

    [00:06:23 → 00:06:42]

    Art Pricing Strategies: "Consider the value of your work based on the local market, your expertise, and the time that you have invested into that work. It's up to you to determine and to establish a final price, but you also wanna know what your local market is for particular artists in that market.

    [00:07:12 → 00:07:29]

    Art Exhibition Preparation: "The biggest thing is the presentation of your work is important on how it is organized and displayed in the show. Balancing the symmetry of your art when you're hanging it or grouping it and making sure that everything looks professional The people can truly see the detail of your work and the beauty of your art."

    [00:08:50 → 00:09:09]

    Preparing for an Art Show: "If you follow these steps and prepare for your show, you'll be ready to showcase your talent at any art show and make a lasting impression."
