This week Alice is joined by two UK gallery owners to discuss Open Call exhibitions - from the inside! When artists can sometimes feel submissions are a waste of time, two gallerists share why they choose to use this as part of their offer for artists, and the relationships which build from it.
They let us in on some of the behind the scenes set-up, and what it really takes to organise and run an open call, and what an ideal submission looks like.
We also push them on the tricky topic of costs and pricing - is this just a money-making scheme or after listening do you consider this a good investment. Let us know!

You can listen to the Artist View episode ... and the situation which kick-started this whole subject back on Episode 256.

Louise is in colour frustration as she uses paint in a different way out of the studio. And Alice is back from a third away event in as many weeks with some reflections about finding your direction and staying the course.
What does trusting your intuition really feel like? How we debate with logic and recognising what you don't even realise you need yet... when it happens in front of you.

This week, we're diving into what it means to live a creative life, and what toll it takes emotionally. Is there a way to regulate your emotional state through a large project or body of work? And should you even try? As Louise starts a major new project, we discuss dopamine hits, tears, and the importance of simply being present.

Are submitting to open calls part of your practice? Maybe you find the rejection hard to handle? Or you're fed up of losing submission fees...
This week's show was prompted by a rather shocking and sad recent scenario involving the Livingstone gallery. If you got caught up in it, you're not alone. But it prompted a discussion about whether we should be more wary about open calls, or if they can be a beneficial element in building your career.
Alice is joined by Abigail Bowen and Jessie Woodward to discuss an artists view ... from getting organised to practising bravery and stepping outside your comfort zone.
We hope that later in the summer we'll hear the view from some gallery owners who organise open calls and why they organise them.

This week, we're talking about the long journey from initial idea to fully fledged reality. So often people give up at the very first hurdle, but we have both learned the value of persistence in our art and our businesses. In this episode, we share what we've learned, including "no you haven't ruined it," and "stop staring at the problem." There is genuine wisdom in this episode, and we hope our hard-earned lessons can help you stay the course in your own art practice.

This week, we’re talking sales - or rather, we’re talking what happens if we take sales out of the equation. Alice has just finished a gallery show while Louise has a pile of finished paintings she hasn’t yet put on her website.
We discuss the role that sales play in our creative process and in our ultimate satisfaction. Is it important to exchange money for paintings? How would it feel to give work away? Or to make work with no intention of ever sharing it? And what impact would these decisions have on our creativity?

Louisa Sugden is a photographer, stylist, and content creator with a large social media following and a house renovation that has taken 8 years (and counting). In this episode, Louise talks to Louisa about how she learned to slow down and enjoy life, even while living in semi-chaos, and how she has learned to share honestly on social media and Youtube, without worrying what people think.
Louisa might not be a painter, but we think she's a true artist and we hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation.

This week's episode began with a simple question: do you wash your brushes before finishing for the day? But we soon realised that work practices and studio set-up are a whole topic, so join us as we dive into storage, colour mixing, and the ways in which our spaces evolve as our work changes.

In this solo episode, Louise reflects on a key principle of art-making - one that can take your art from good to great. If you want your art to connect with others, who better to learn from that Taylor Swift? Her new album is the most successful of all time, and Louise thinks she knows why. She also thinks we can all learn something from it. So if you want to make art that resonates deeply with other humans, this episode is for you.
