Five Rules for Emerging Artists to Live By

1. Exude Professionalism. Spend the money or find an advanced photography student to take photos are your work. You will probably not get a response from a Gallery. Also, when you get a call for artists, follow all the rules and guidelines. (BECA Gallery)

2. Keep creating. It takes a lifetime to be an overnight success as an artist. Keep painting and perfecting your craft. (International Artexpo )

3. Success ..maybe a long time in coming, but I think an artist has to be prolific and proactive in promoting their work. (Lisa Fondo)

4. Find your strategy. Artists should be very picky about who you have representing you.
(Studio Fine Art)

5. Stay Open and Realistic. In life we are always looking for that one piece to the puzzle that’s going to open the doors to everything beyond, and that is not necessarily a realistic approach to making it in the art world. Be open to showing your art in many different venues. (Fine Art Management Corp.)

  1. Very valuable advice! I love #2 - particularly, "It takes a lifetime to be an overnight success as an artist."
