A great way for artists to get the word out about their artwork or their area of expertise is to create a podcast. Podcast episodes can be easily created at very little expense, and can be a very interesting and important part of an artist’s brand. In this episode, I go over the basics of starting a podcast, including the equipment and software needed to record and edit a podcast and share it with the world.

This episode talks about how you can get out of a creative block. We’ll discuss blocks that come from not being able to start a project, the block that comes from having too many choices, and the block that comes from fear. For all of these, you can fall into a trap of overthinking, which can lead to an inability to do anything creative. I’ll give you methods of how you can get past these creative blocks.

Co-op galleries can be a great option for artists who want to get their art seen and sold. The artist displays their artwork at the gallery for a couple months, they work a few hours at the gallery, and they split the sales with the owner of the gallery. In Episode #71, I spoke with artist AJ Brockman who created a new type of gallery, called The Brewhouse Gallery. In this episode I talk about his gallery and traditional co-op galleries so that you can decide if those galleries are right for you.

AJ Brockman is a talented artist living with a progressive disease, but it has never held him back from his art goals. After working the art show circuit in Florida, he searched for a better way to sell his art. He created The Brewhouse Gallery, a place where people can enjoy a craft beer in a unique gallery setting. The gallery is a huge success for AJ and the artists and musicians who now call it their creative home. Show Notes can be found at https://suzanneredmond.com/podcast/list-of-artists/
