Episode 98: 20+ Steps on How to Host Your Own Art Show

Being an artist and waiting for opportunities can feel a lot like being a middle schooler, awkwardly waiting in the gymnasium, hoping to be chosen for the team — or at least hoping you won't be chosen last.

The good news is that this isn't the middle school basketball team — it's YOUR art. So you don't have to wait…you can create your own opportunities!

Tune into this episode to see how to host your own art show, including how to promote it, the benefits of going solo (or with a group), and day-of coordination. You'll get 20+ of my best tips so you can learn from my own experience, and make sure yours goes off without a hitch.
