To Show or Not to Show: The Artist's Dilemma [213]




Art Juice: A podcast for artists, creatives and art lovers show

Summary: <p>This week, we’re discussing the benefits and challenges of showing our artwork, whether that is online or in person. Making art is a deeply personal experience but, for many of us, showing our work is also a vital part of the process. We made the work as a way of communicating something, and it's not communication unless someone else sees it. On the flip side, some artists shy away from exhibiting for a variety of reasons. In this conversation, we explore the benefits of showing our work and also the potential upsides of keeping it to ourselves. Our wide-ranging discussion covers artistic growth, purity of expression, vulnerability, and the ever-present fear of rejection. If you regularly exhibit, we hope our discussion offers food for thought, and if you don’t, maybe it will inspire you to have a go :)</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Alice's Time to Shine course <a href="https://www.soulrocketstudio.com/time-to-shine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.soulrocketstudio.com/time-to-shine</a></p> <p>See Alice Sheridan at: </p> <p><a href="https://alicesheridan.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.alicesheridan.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/alicesheridanstudio/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alicesheridanstudio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Find more about Louise Fletcher:</p> <p><a href="https://www.louisefletcherart.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.louisefletcherart.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/louisefletcher_art/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@louisefletcher_art⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Credits: "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License</p>
