The Burnout Fix: Create Leverage, Force Multipliers, and What to Focus On to Move the Needle in Your Art Career (ft. Superfair)

If you have ever felt like you are running a marketing agency instead of an art practice, you are not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Alex Mitow and Sharone Halevy, the dynamic duo behind Superfair, now in their 11th year as one of the most artist-forward art fairs in the country. We talk about what they are witnessing in real time across the artist community, why burnout is at an all-time high, and what actually works when you strip away the noise.

We cover:

• Why social media has aged and what that means for your practice
• The concept of force multipliers and how to find yours
• What artists are doing that is getting in their own way
• Why in-person connection is the ultimate leverage point
• How to come back to life creatively when you are running on empty
• What it actually looks like to exhibit at an artist-forward art fair
