Common Art Encounters

By Ian Kleine

Here's the thing, there are tons of stuff that could happen in art show, and these are all common little things that could very well hold your head high up above others, if you know how to anticipate them and avoid them. Some of these situations are beneficial and can help you towards your career growth.

Others there are differences that you cannot avoid, and would lead to your downfall, unless you know how to deal with them and turn them around for the better. Here are a few and try to relate if you can as much as possible.

Customers who go to the art shows LIKE art. It's a given. Unless they were dragged in by their better halves, or their boyfriends or girlfriends; everyone in an art show is a person that appreciates art. They like it, end of story. The hard part is getting between customer and your art piece. You, as an artist, is proud in default with your work.

Take it that people buy things, because they like it. They understand it in a point of view that they alone possess. You, have your own point of view as well. It is a matter of compromise. People don't like things they don't understand. So as much as possible, when talking to customers, be relatable. Try and be sociable, if you can. Bear with it even just for a day. All for the sake of your art.

There's a talent needed there, the talent of being able to express your art both in tangible words and in intangible ideas. You need to dramatically flair up your art so as to evoke people to want it, but then explain it to them simply in a manner that they can truly grasp the concept of your art.
