About this episode

As an artist, you’re always about the art. Even for a show, the focus is on creating pieces, not the other things that go into making the show itself a great event. Then when you realize it’s time to plan everything out, you’re instantly overwhelmed by all that’s involved.

What you need is a guide or template that can help you prepare and eliminate a lot of pre-show jitters. I want you to be in a place where you feel confident about your show and your artwork.

In this episode of The Savvy Painter podcast, you’ll learn strategies for planning and executing a successful art show. I’ll take you step-by-step on how to envision, reverse-engineer, detail, plan, collaborate, and implement what you want so you can ensure that your event stays organized and goes smoothly.

3:09 - How to create a clear vision and plan for your show, step-by-step

9:21 - How to collaborate with partners and reverse-engineer a detailed plan

16:35 - How to create a calendar for planning ahead of time for your art show

22:30 - The benefit of using a calendar if you don’t like to plan and struggle to stick to a schedule

24:01 - The impact of visualizing the aftermath of a successful art show
