Episode 8: Artists Beware! Stories from Real Artist Life

Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers

There’s no better teacher than life itself, but if you can get a little advice or tips along the artists journey in business it seems to make life a little easier and helps light the way. Today’s episode talks about personal experiences first hand and how to show up fully prepared for the art life. Or at least as prepared as possible.

Lori and Jaime talk about:

• Bad arts and crafts show experiences including

• big promises
• bad weather
• bad direction or no instructions for show arrival and set up
• theft
• copyright infringement and/or copycats
• other vendors helping themselves to your stuff

• People wanting artwork created for free

• Charities looking for donations

• People with big dreams and no money

As in each episode, we include bits of our personal lives into the discussion. Think of it as sitting with your two artist friends chatting about art, the art biz and life. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join us.
