The Art Connective

Whether it is your first time as a vendor at an art fair/show or you have participated in several already, local artist Paige Nordstrom and I have a candid talk about what works and what doesn't. Try implementing one of these at your next event!

Is imitation flattery? We talk about why we think it isn't and the basic steps you can take to protect your creative ideas from being stolen or copied online.

We have been working hard and are happy to announce a new artist and business membership program. We have updated our website with information about The Annex and what the space offers. Learn about how you can help us sustain and grow our mission.

Today on the podcast I am joined by Krissy Zegers who is a coach and consultant for people who want to thrive. We discuss the misconception around women not creating good art. Why is this and how can you break out of this misconception.

Continuing with our series of Misconceptions of the Art World our topic today is Gallery Commission Fee's. Why are they there? Why they are needed and how to navigate them. Paige Nordstrom joins us today to discus this hot topic. She is a Wisconsin mixed media artist and her business name is Sassy Palette LLC.

In this episode we list out some of the biggest misconceptions of the art world. Over the next few episodes we will pick one of these topics and dig into it deeper. It's time to have open conversations and break down the negative talk that is hurting us all.

Artists are often driven by ego and that needs to vanish to grow and succeed. We have a quick chat about how important it is to support your community.

We have all done it, given away our art work for the chance to be featured or printed in a publication. Well, I'm here to tell you to stop doing that! Stop giving away your artwork! It is time to value your ideas, time and creativity.

I sit down with local Wisconsin artist, Carmen Duran to talk about how she got started, where she finds inspiration and why staying organized is so important.

We talk about the general misconceptions related to art galleries and then talk about why they are still relevant and important to the art industry.

Join us for this episode, have fun and learn something along the way!
