The Curator's Salon - The Art Podcast

In this episode I talk about something so many artists face - the fear of self promotion.

I share how this holds up your career, visibility and sales, and what steps you can take to become comfortable promoting yourself as a self representing artist.

In this episode, I mention a few of my programs and you can see them below

I am joined by Cynthia Corbett to discuss the Young Masters Art Prize which she founded in 2009.

In this podcast, Cynthia explains how the prize started and has grown over the years. She discusses the exhibitions that are scheduled for this years winners later in the fall and how the YMAP continues to exhibit outside of the prize years.

The prize has previously served as a launch pad for many artists which Cynthia shares on this episode, and is currently open for submissions from artists based anywhere in the world. She is keen to emphasise that Young Masters is a play on Old Masters. Young referring to living artists of any age practicing today - there is no upper age limit . And Masters refers to referencing art history in their work.

Living artists are encouraged to apply from anywhere in the world. Deadline to submit is 9 July 2023.

In this episode I talk about vanity galleries - those galleries where you hire wall space. I explain the difference between these and gallery rental spaces. They often get alot of criticism and in this episode I talk about ways of reframing those cold outreach emails that many artists receive that leave them feeling frustrated and annoyed.
