Thoughts in the Studio

6/22/2020

Lately, I have had lots of talks with other artists about the changes that are inevitable now that covid has overtaken the world.  Our lifetime is now part of history and we have to adapt and find ways to be creative and relative in this brave new world.  
One thing I hear over and over is the percentage of current galleries that will not be around this time next year.  Some huge galleries have already closed.  Everyone is scrambling to find a way to showcase their art and make a living at the same time.  
I keep asking myself how much of the old way of doing business is still relevant?  There have always been many things that were taboo for artist.  Do those old taboo's apply?  I don't think so.  I think it is a new world and its time for us to create a good business model where we work together.  Exhibitions were already moving towards arts collectives and art groups rather than galleries but now this seems even more important
Being in control of your art and how its shown and sold are more important than ever. 
What do you think is important?
How do we implement these into our presentations?  
How do we show the work and continue to grow our businesses without alienating potential in the future?  
Art reps and consultants seem like the way of the future in my eyes.  What do you think?
