EP 49: How to Come Back From an Extended Artmaking Break


Listen Later

Almost every artist will need to take an extended break from art making at some point in their career. Whether that be due to child rearing, the loss of a parent, or a significant move, the job of getting back into the game can be just as challenging as the disruptions that took you away from the studio. You're probably worried that...

You have visible gaps in your CV that galleries will notice and ask you about.

You've lose touch with many of your contacts and art friends and now they're gone for good.

Your fear of not being able to get back into the networking game, will keep you from getting back into the networking game.

In this podcast, I address those fears, identify the self defeating actions artists often take when in this position, and offer actionable alternatives.

You don't have to feel stuck.

And this podcast is designed to make sure you feel empowered to take action, rather than feeling mired in fear and self doubt.

Have a listen, and let me know what you think!
