What do you do when galleries are following you, visiting your studio, complimenting your work…and then nothing happens?
In this episode of The MFA Podcast, I answer a question from an artist who feels like she's doing everything right—but gallery interest hasn't turned into exhibitions, representation, or sales yet.
I break down the two things I think are often missing: the practical follow-up and the inner micro-actions that shape how you build relationships in the art world.
We talk about:
→ The simple email you can send when you finish a new artwork you think a gallery—or collector—will connect with
→ Why you don't always need to wait for someone else to make the next move
→ How your Reticular Activating System (RAS) can influence the opportunities, signals, and possibilities you notice
→ The tiny unconscious behaviors that can either move a relationship forward or keep you waiting
→ Why networking becomes much easier when you stop thinking of it as "networking" and start thinking about making friends in your industry around shared interests
And I share why real-world immersion can change the way you understand—and connect with—the art world.
