We go over expectations, what they accomplished, what they wished they had brought, and what are they going to change in their life once the residency is over. The artists in this cohort ranged in age from 19 to mid 70's and were from 4 different countries. They are sculptures, painters, fiber artists, poets, novelists, screenwriters, and more. I asked them these 4 questions: What did you expect to accomplish at the Chateau d'Orquevaux residency vs what did you actually end up creating?What's something you brought or wish you had brought that would have made your time at the residency better?What are you going to change in your life after coming to this art residency?What's some advice you would have for someone planning on coming to the Chateau Orquevaux?All 21 artists had very different answers and advice, a lot of which is specific to what they create.

    In November of 2023 I spent a month at the Chateau d'Orquevaux artists and writers residency.I had applied the year before in hope that the second time was the charm and that I'd get the chance to visit the worlds most beautiful artist residency. Getting in was the biggest delight and saving up the money for it was my driving force for the 18 months leading up to it. Now that I'm home and recovered from the jetlag, I wanted to share with you my personal audio diary I kept while at the Chateau. This diary is from a few days before leaving, every day at the residency, and a few days after getting back home. I go into detail about what I experienced each day, talk about things I was learning, share tips for people wanting to come to the residency, and more.See all the tips written out: https://www.stephaniescott.art/2024/1/16/chateau-audio-diary Host and artist Stephanie Scott breaks down the practicality of the art career with topics including: sustainable creative practices, social media skills, and the mindsets that keep it all together.

    Selling Art At Conventions with Brittany Torres

    Have you ever wanted to sell your artwork at a convention? Join me in a discussion with fantasy artist Brittany Torres on selling artwork with a booth, entering convention art shows, and general advice for artists looking to enter this new realm of sales. Find Brittany: Brittany's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brittany_notbrittney Brittany's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/torresfantasyart/?hl=en Torres Fantasy Art: https://www.torresfantasyart.com/ Rob Carlos, Brittany's mentor: https://www.instagram.com/rob.carlos/?hl=en Convention's mentioned:https://www.norwescon.org/ https://www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en-us.html https://imaginativerealism.com/ https://www.miscon.org/ https://www.wasummercon.com/ Brittany Torres likes dragons, wine, and attempting to write her hypothetical book late at night. She braved the college towns of MA to emerge armed with a Bachelor's of Liberal Arts from Mount Holyoke College and a deeper appreciation for female representation. To no one's surprise she majored in both English and in Medieval Studies, specializing in King Arthur, Beowulf, and manuscript research. She then went the completely opposite direction to work in self publishing as a graphic designer for book covers. Skip ahead a couple years and she is now the successful business owner of The Social Atelier, where she coaches fellow artists in discovering the power of their unique branding. No matter the career though, Brittany always comes back to art and the world of fantasy where her too big imagination fits right in. When not glued to the computer you can find her with a cup of coffee in hand, living a ridiculously fun life with her husband, the firefighter, and their cat, the tiny savage, in their home in Washington State.Host and artist Stephanie Scott breaks down the practicality of the art career with topics including: sustainable creative practices, social media skills, and the mindsets that keep it all together.
