Ever wonder why I'm always talking about pineapples? I am a huge believer in the power we have to design our own lives.  Our thoughts, feelings and decisions shape the life we live today.  Every action we take and what we pay attention to matters. This is where the pineapple comes in. It started as a bit of fun during a workshop—but it's become something much deeper. A symbol of joy, focus, community, and creative freedom.

Is your creativity losing the battle against life's demands? In this episode, I talk about the uncomfortable truth about why consistency, not talent or inspiration, is the real secret to showing up. I'll break down practical time-blocking strategies that protect your creative sessions, techniques that build resilience, and studio habits that generate consistent flow.  If you want to maintain your creative practice, consistency is the way to do it.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti in Lower Manhattan was mistaken for a CIA operation. He was the toast of the New York art world while sleeping on floors in squalid apartments. He sold his first painting to Blondie's Debbie Harry for $200. Less than a year later, his paintings were going for more than $20,000. And decades later, the debate over what is and what is not a real Basquiat rages on. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including a depiction of police brutality. This episode was originally published on April 25, 2024. Basquiat excelled at both visual art and music. What other musicians excelled in a second skill, art form, or sport?

Join us for a powerful live conversation with artist and educator Alain Picard, as he shares the moment that changed everything in his creative career. For years, Alain travelled the world teaching workshops and painting commissioned portraits. On the surface, it looked like success. But behind the scenes, he was stretched thin — constantly on the move, trading time for money, and missing out on the everyday moments that mattered most. Then came a shift. A decision to stop doing it all the hard way. Alain reimagined his art business and began building something that could grow with him — an online membership and education platform that now supports thousands of artists across the world. In this live episode, Alain opens up about: The turning point that took him from burnout to balance How he scaled his impact without losing connection or creativity Why the creative process can bring hope, healing and joy Whether you're an artist dreaming of more freedom, or someone curious about what's possible when you choose a new path — this conversation will speak to you.

Spring art week just wrapped in New York City. Known for its extravagant floral displays and signature oysters and champagne, TEFAF is the fair with a vibe. This year, 91 exhibitors from 13 countries presented everything from antiquities to modern and contemporary art and design at the stately Park Avenue Armory. There's a real sense of passion here— dealers are eager to share the stories behind their works. Which brings us to today's episode, recorded live at the Thrill of the Chase panel with three very different cultural omnivores who personify Tefaf's ethos which span centuries and styles. Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn‘s gallery Salon 94, has long blurred the lines between art and design. Housed in a Beaux-Arts townhouse on the Upper East Side she has presented everything from Rick Owens furniture to the recent Kennedy Yanko solo exhibitions. Adam Charlap Hyman, co-founder of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, brings a sweeping vision to interiors, furniture, architecture, and opera sets. He also curates, most recently Glass Subjects at R & Company which is currently on view. Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Curator of Contemporary Design at the Cooper Hewitt, began her career in literature before turning to storytelling through objects. Her work explores symbolism, inclusion, and cultural memory. Together, they explore what makes an object irresistible. Is it beauty, rarity—or the story it tells? In this conversation, Artnet Studio's William Van Meter dig into the thrill of discovery, the elusive “X factor,” and how great objects help shape layered narratives.

Last weekend, I wore a pineapple on my head—and it completely changed the way I saw myself. I know that sounds wild, but stay with me. In this episode, I'm sharing the powerful shifts I've experienced recently—deep visualisations, unexpected realisations about my younger self, and a moment that literally stopped me in my tracks at a ceramic art show. It's about how art connects us, not just to others, but to ourselves. How the seemingly small moments—using  a nice towel, meeting someone new, or wearing a fascinator—can reveal big things about our self-worth and what's really holding us back. This one is all about coming home to yourself, and the surprising ways art, community, and a little bit of fun can open the door to abundance and joy.

For the 36th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Sarah Roberts, curator of the landmark exhibition "Amy Sherald: American Sublime," and editor of the accompanying catalog published by Yale University Press in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.Roberts discusses Sherald's revolutionary portraiture approach — from her distinctive gray-scale skin tones that shift focus to her subjects' interior lives, to her deliberate use of clothing and settings as narrative devices. She shares insights on the "American sublime" concept in Sherald's work and her curatorial decisions integrating the iconic Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor portraits within the larger context of the artist's practice.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in contemporary portraiture, the evolution of American figurative painting, and how art can challenge conventional narratives about representation and identity. Roberts' insights reveal why Sherald's quiet yet radical artistic vision offers a powerful reimagining of who deserves to be seen and celebrated in American art history.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sarah Roberts is Senior Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Joan Mitchell Foundation where she oversees the Foundation's Artwork and Archival Collections and the Joan Mitchell Catalogue Raisonné project. Since 2004, she has served in progressive leadership roles in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the SFMOMA, and since 2020 as Andrew W. Mellon Curator and Head of Painting and Sculpture. A specialist in post-war American art, Roberts has organized significant exhibitions including major presentations of Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Frank Bowling, and co-curated the Joan Mitchell retrospective that traveled internationally. Roberts holds degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Brown University, and has contributed to numerous publications on contemporary art.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Amy Sherald: American Sublime" is now on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York through August 3, 2025, following its run at SFMOMA. The exhibition will travel to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

In this episode, we dive into branding and visibility for artists with brand coach Jen Bowers from Jen Be Brands. Jen speaks about what it really means to stand out in the art world — like a flamingo in a flock of seagulls! We explore recognition marketing and why branding is about so much more than colours and logos (although those are fun too!). Jen explains how building a memorable brand starts with knowing your brand personality — something that, for artists, is often deeply personal and closely tied to your identity.   If you missed episode 90, check it out so you can rewrite your money story.

What makes a work of art resonate? Is it the colors, the subject, the symbolism—or something more elusive? In this episode, curator, author, and coach Gita Joshi returns to talk about her new book Framing the Invisible: How We See and Understand Art. We explore how perception, personal experience, and context shape the way we engage with artwork—whether you're an artist, collector, or simply a curious viewer.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with James Stourton, British art historian and former chairman of Sotheby's UK, about his new book Rogues and Scholars: A History of the London Art World: 1945 to 2000. Stourton reflects on key moments that shaped the postwar British art market, including the landmark Jakob Goldschmidt auction, the rise of the buyer's premium, and the shift in global power from London to New York. He shares insights into the long-standing rivalry between dealers and auction houses, the decline of certain collecting categories, and whether those markets can ever rebound. The conversation also touches on how larger-than-life personalities once helped define the art world and where the biggest risks and opportunities lie for the next generation.

What if earning a million as an artist wasn't just a wild dream—but a real, achievable goal? I know, it can sound outrageous. I used to think the same. But after years of surrounding myself with artists and creatives who've done it—and doing it myself—I've seen that it is possible. In this episode, I'm sharing three clear paths artists are using right now to build wealth doing what they love, plus the mindset shifts that open the door to even bigger possibilities.   Don't miss out!

Have you ever wondered if it's actually possible to make a living from your art—without having to be connected, represented, or selling in galleries? Years ago, I had this wild dream. I wanted to make art on my own terms, work from anywhere in the world, be around creatives, and somehow still make a living. At the time, it felt completely absurd. But then I discovered this whole world I didn't even know existed—a way to take what you know, love and do… and turn it into recurring income every month. And that's what we're talking about in today's episode. I'm joined by someone who has been a huge part of my journey—Stu McLaren. He's helped thousands of people, including artists, turn their passions into sustainable memberships—some of them bringing in tens of thousands, even millions. This one's packed with inspiration, real-life stories, and the kind of encouragement we all need sometimes to dream a bit bigger.   Thinking about starting your own membership?

This week we are running a re-air of an interview with the curator and writer Elisa Auther about the fascinating history of fiber art and its recent rise. The show we mentioned in the episode, woven histories, textiles and modern abstraction has arrived at the Museum of Modern Art in New York this week. And I think Auther's perspective makes a nice compliment to that important show. Contemporary art comes in many shapes and forms, but close your eyes and think of what an artist looks like and nine times out of 10, I bet you are still thinking of a painter in front of a canvas. If recent interest for museums and galleries is any indication, however, that image should be joined by another one: the fiber artist. Think of a weaver seated at the loom or a quilt-maker laboriously stitching together layers of fabric. The textile arts have experienced a quiet but steady groundswell of interest in the last decades, and recently I've noticed that it feels as if it is kicked into a new, even higher level, from the many kinds of textile based art throughout the most recent Venice Biennale to the major show "Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction," which is on a tour of some of North America's most important museums right now. As many textile scholars will tell you, tapestry was once as exalted as painting as an art form, and it may be so again. This surge of interest is bringing new audiences, new histories, and new vocabularies into the center of the action that are worth getting familiar with, and to unravel all the different threads, Art Critic Ben Davis turned to Elissa Auther, a scholar who looked at the tangled history of fiber art in her book String Felt, Thread: The Hierarchy of Art and Craft in American Art.  More importantly, she's been closely observing and encouraging the contemporary boom in textile art as the chief curator at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. This week she the podcast to discuss what's behind the resurgence of interest in this medium.

In this episode of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, host Charuka Arora sits down with French-born, Melbourne-based artist Lucy Lucy. From leaving behind a career in international commerce to becoming a full-time artist, Lucy shares how community, color, and collaboration shaped her creative path. A heartfelt conversation about art, staying true to yourself, and finding beauty in the journey.

Madeline, Julian, and Emilio continue their cycle of New York City movies with a "Suggestion Box" entry covering "Problemista," the film debut of director, writer, and actor Julio Torres, known previously for his writing on Saturday Night Live, HBO special "My Favorite Shapes," and co-creating and starring in the supernatural comedy "Los Espookys." Like other films the group have discussed in this cycle, "Problemista" depicts a recent immigrant's struggle to get by in New York City, but through a distinctly contemporary lens that stands out for its surrealism and vivacious humor. In discussing Alejandro "Ale" Martinez's journey towards steady employment and a work visa, the group look in depth at the magical realism throughout (with emphasis on "Craigslist" and "Bureaucratic Limbo"), how people with power use or abuse their privilege, and the enigma that is Elizabeth, Alejandro's erratic presumed employer played by a tour-de-force Tilda Swinton. And perhaps they'll match some databases in FileMakerPro in the process...If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

In this first installment, Peter speaks with two of the earliest artists to engage with the intersection of art and deep generative models, Tom White (dribnet) and Gene Kogan.They explore the artistic, philosophical and cultural implications of GANs and deep generative models, drawing on the artists' early experiences and perspectives in the field .

In a recent essay, Artnet writer Annie Armstrong spotlighted a chaotic new force in the art world: red-chip art. It's the brash, chrome-dipped, algorithm-boosted cousin of blue-chip art—and it's booming. In her latest essay, Annie sketches out its archetypal collector: a guy barreling down the highway in a Cybertruck, checking his crypto wallet, queuing up a Joe Rogan episode, and racing to the next art opening—maybe an Alec Monopoly show, maybe a MSCHF drop. Red-chip art, as Annie defines it, is more than a market category—it's a mood. On The Art Angle this week, she joins Senior Editor Kate Brown to unpack this sensibility, tracing its fanbase from crypto bros to Kanye West, and its canon from KAWS's Companions to Daniel Arsham's sculpture of Mark Zuckerberg's wife in Tiffany blue. And yes, as Annie points out, red-chip art is not not related to Trumpism.

In this episode of She Who Paints, I sit down with ceramic sculptor and visionary artist Jen Dwyer, whose intricate, sensual, and playful works challenge patriarchal narratives while embracing the sacred feminine. Jen opens up about her artistic journey, from her early influences to her deep connection with Rococo aesthetics and how she uses clay and paint as a medium for storytelling, healing, and reclaiming feminine power. We talk candidly about how she navigates the art world and working with moguls like Hashimoto Contemporary gallery while staying true to her inner voice. Whether you're an artist, a lover of ceramics, or someone drawn to the mystical and feminine in art, this episode will leave you inspired to create from your truth and honor the stories your body holds.

Conversation with Jodie Kras, Director Galleries at the Melbourne Art Fair, exploring more than a decade of her rich experience working in the bustling art scenes of Melbourne and Sydney from commercial galleries to prestigious biennales and auction houses.

Ever feel like money just comes in and goes straight back out—like no matter what you do, you're stuck? I've been there. I used to think that hitting a certain financial goal would change everything. But when I finally reached it, I realised… nothing really changed. That's when I started to rethink my whole mindset around money and abundance. In this episode, I'm sharing the two biggest shifts that have helped me move from scarcity to clarity—simple steps that can change the way you approach money and open up new possibilities.  

Spiritual Kinship, Artist-Run Futures, and Burning the Art World Down (Gently) - Cat Gunn In this episode of What's My Thesis, Javier Proenza welcomes Cat Gunn—artist, curator, and co-organizer of Other Places Art Fair South (OPAF South)—for a wide-ranging conversation on community, creative identity, and the radical possibilities within artist-run spaces. Rooted in their early relationship to art and shaped by their current role in the San Diego-based initiative Harvest and Gather, the dialogue illuminates the power of collaborative curation and experimental presentation. Gunn shares the ethos behind Harvest and Gather's programming, which includes boundary-pushing moments such as a bonfire where artwork is ceremoniously burned—a powerful gesture of impermanence, intention, and spiritual offering. As OPAF South emerges as a new chapter of the long-running artist-run platform Other Places Art Fair, Gunn reflects on mentorship, shared resources, and the liberatory potential of decentralized arts infrastructure. With detours through magic, conceptual art, regional aesthetics, and the politics of visibility, Proenza and Gunn discuss what it means to make and sustain art outside of market logic. Topics include: Cat Gunn's transition from drawing and animation to curation and community-based practice The philosophy and provocations behind Harvest and Gather How artist-run spaces function as spiritual and political interventions San Diego's evolving art ecosystem and Gunn's collaboration with MCA on OPAF South Queerness, geography, and the differences between art scenes in Baltimore, Miami, L.A., and beyond The sustainability of DIY and underground creative labor in a post-pandemic landscape For those compelled by the invisible architectures of care, resistance, and ritual in contemporary art, this episode offers an inspired look into what's being built just outside the spotlight.

William Sarradet talks with gallerist Bart Keijsers Koning about the Dallas scene and the role galleries play in the art ecosystem. "An artist going directly from studio to museum is problematic because the language hasn't had a chance to encounter an audience and see what is clear, what isn't working and kind of fine tuning it. The museum's responsibility is to represent and clarify history, culture and not always (dictate) where its going next because we don't know that. That's much more in the gallery's hand, because if you do that as a museum you start getting into very murky water. I think there's a good way for a gallery to sit in between that to foster certain ideas to make sure the narrative is translated in the best way and edited in the best way."

Last week, I found myself scrolling through social media—something I don't do often—and within minutes, I was bombarded with conflicting opinions. One post told me I should be making art every day. Another said galleries were a waste of time. Someone else had a completely different take on pricing. It was a flood of “you should do this” and “you must do that.” And suddenly, I started questioning everything. That's when I realised: this is exactly how we lose touch with ourselves. The sheer volume of information out there can cloud our judgment, pull us in different directions, and make us doubt what we already know deep down. So today, I want to talk about how we can navigate this world of constant input while staying true to ourselves—how to filter through the noise, avoid overwhelm, and reconnect with our own intuition.

START SELLING YOUR ART Q&A - How can I price? - How do I keep momentum going when I feel burnout? - What do I do if I want consistent commissions? - Is there really a place for artists in the artworld? These are a few examples of the questions we tackle in this live podcast

Ceri is joined by Marcelle Joseph, an American independent curator and collector based in the UK whose collection champions female identifying and queer artists. Marcelle talks about her journey from corporate lawyer to art world innovator, revealing how early influences in material culture shaped her curatorial vision. With over 50 exhibitions curated since 2011, she discusses her feminist focused collection and her GIRLPOWER residency in France and gives advice for emerging artists. KEY TAKEAWAYS Marcelle's journey into art began with material culture influences from her grandmother's textile work and her father's entrepreneurial spirit. This now manifests in her current collecting of ceramics and textiles from female identifying and non binary artists. After leaving a successful corporate law career, Marcelle reinvented herself through a degree at Christie's Education and founded Marcelle Joseph Projects in 2011, eventually curating over 50 exhibitions that explore feminist theory and the performativity of gender. Studio visits are crucial exchanges where Marcelle connects with artists' influences and processes. She recommends artists prepare thoughtfully, demonstrating their practice range and sharing their theoretical inspirations. For new artists looking for opportunities, Marcelle advises maintaining a professional Instagram and comprehensive website showcasing at least five years of work, being selective with networking events as well as persistently applying for residencies and grants. Marcelle established a unique 50/50 collecting partnership with Kimberly Morris called the GIRLPOWER Collection, which expanded into a residency program in France that offers stipends, materials budgets and exhibition opportunities to three artists annually. The contemporary art market faces serious challenges, particularly for small to mid size galleries. Marcelle highlights Hauser & Wirth's model of offering small galleries a commission when signing their artists as a potential sustainability solution. Institutional governance work has been central to Marcelle's impact, including a former trustee at Matt's Gallery, Ambassador for the Royal Academy Schools, and Vice Chair at Mimosa House, which she values for championing marginalised voices. Marcelle's dream retirement project is to create a foundation in her hometown in upstate New York to introduce contemporary art to young people while offering artist residencies, giving back to the community that shaped her. BEST MOMENTS "I've adopted a lot of my father's mentality in my own career journey about deciding that I want to do something that's really brave and sort of outside of my comfort zone and just attacking it and making it happen." "I'm all about platforming those artists who have been marginalised or written out of the traditional Western art canon by the patriarchy." "I like supporting early career artists because it’s the most pivotal part of their career in my opinion. If they can’t get past being an early career artist, they’re not going to be an artist." "I often call my collection a collection of conversations, because almost all of the artwork is by artists that I know, that I've worked with, written about, done a studio visit with." "Don't be afraid to approach your heroes. What's the worst thing that can possibly happen? They turn around and walk away, right?" "I know websites are going out of fashion, but I find them so incredibly important to do my initial research on artists. A holding page is not enough. I like to see at least five years of their work." "Curating is all about caring for the artwork, but it's also about caring for the artist. That's really important to me." "Life is short so you shouldn't let any opportunity go by." EPISODE RESOURCES https://marcellejoseph.com @marcelle.joseph PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

The artist Gertrude Abercrombie is not someone whose name I knew until very recently. But she's definitely a name to know now. Born in 1909 in Austin, Texas and dying in 1977 in Chicago, Abercrombie was a painter of witchy and surreal canvases. They seem like lucid dreams, full of haunted landscapes, lone women, masked figures, barren trees, forked paths, and mysterious towers. In life, Abercrombie was a remarkable character. She was variously known as the “Queen of Chicago,” for her big presence in Hyde Park where she presided over a vibrant, self-curated social scene at a stately Victorian-era home; and as the “Jazz Witch,” for her enthusiastic support of Chicago jazz musicians in the 1940s and 50s—plus her personal affectation of wearing a peaked witch's hat. Abercrombie was long a pretty obscure figure. But in recent years, her art has seen a remarkable upsurge of interest, culminating in an exciting touring exhibition of her paintings titled “Gertrude Abercrombie: The Whole World Is a Mystery" on view now at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. We've run multiple stories on Abercrombie recently, one by Katie White recounting her life and art ("Meet Surrealist Gertrude Abercrombie, the ‘Jazz Witch' Who Captivated the Art World"), and one by Eileen Kinsella, tracking this once nearly forgotten artists's recent return to the art market spotlight, nearly a half century after her death ("Once a ‘Regional Thing,' Gertrude Abercrombie's Enigmatic Art Is Selling for Huge Sums. Here's Why"). In this episode, We talk to both of them, to get a full picture of this artist's life and legacy.

In this episode, Paige sits down with Sam Chappell, a self-taught artist based out of Portland, Maine to explore her inspiring creative journey.

Through candid conversation, Sam reveals how working a steady corporate job allowed her the freedom to explore painting, ultimately leading to her unique artistic career.This episode offers an intimate look at Sam's evolution as an artist, challenging traditional notions of art education and proving that passion and dedication can open unexpected doors in the art world. Sam's authenticity, her approach to balancing motherhood and creativity, and her journey of discovering her artistic voice is truly inspiring.

For the 35th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with influential art dealer Michael Findlay about his captivating memoir, "Portrait of the Art Dealer as a Young Man," published by Prestel.This vibrant conversation takes listeners back to New York's electric downtown art scene of the 1960s and 70s, where Findlay directed one of SoHo's first galleries and launched exhibitions for artists now considered icons. With charm and wit, Findlay shares candid stories of his rise in the art world, recounting encounters with Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and other creative forces that defined an era when appreciation for art outweighed its investment potential.Moving beyond nostalgia, Findlay provides sharp insights into how the art world transformed from the experimental downtown scene to today's global market. Through vivid anecdotes about The Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, and Studio 54, he recreates a New York where creative experimentation flourished without today's commercial pressures.Whether you're fascinated by cultural history, the evolution of the art market, or simply love a good story, Findlay's irreverent, honest perspective offers a fresh look at a pivotal moment when art dealers, artists, and collectors converged to create lasting cultural change.ABOUT THE AUTHOR One of the earliest dealers in SoHo, Michael Findlay showcased artists including John Baldessari, Joseph Beuys, and Hannah Wilke. Named Head of Impressionist and Modern Paintings at Christie's in 1984, he later became its International Director of Fine Arts. Since 2000 he has been a director at Acquavella Galleries, New York, which in recent years has held major exhibitions of important Impressionist, modern, and contemporary masters.

Send us a textYou THINK you know who we are…

Last week, I fell on a steep mountain of snow and got stuck. I was skiing and took a tumble that then led me to realise that in life, when we are faced with a challenge we can often choose actions that feel right but we are doing them because we are in a state of desperation of panic. Especially true when it comes to making money and selling art.  We can find ourselves trying all sorts of things because we feel we have to.. Perfecting a website  Getting into a gallery Winning an award We can go down roads that just aren't right and even worse is when things don't work, we then escalate the thoughts into panic.  What if I lose all my money? What if I never make it as an artist and all if this wastes my time? I was stuck on a mountain having the same thoughts, and I share the power of a tiny action that is usually staring us in the face but we are focusing on all the wrong things, so can't see it!   YOUR ART MATTERS BOOK In this episode, I mention the Your Art Matters book that is out now, you can buy your copy here: >> https://yourartmatters.com

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Emily McElwreath—art advisor, independent curator, educator, and host of The Art Career Podcast. With nearly two decades of experience, Emily has worked with some of the most influential figures in the art world, from Andy Warhol to Alice Neel. She shares how artists can reclaim their power, normalize ambition, and take control of their careers. We also explore what collectors are looking for today, how to navigate the art market, and the evolving role of art advisors. Emily offers practical networking strategies for artists and industry leaders, insights on working with high-profile guests, and details on her recent Art21 collaboration. Plus, she introduces her must-have resource for emerging artists, Navigating the Art World: A Practical Guide for Artists. Whether you're an artist looking to elevate your career or a collector seeking guidance, this episode is filled with expert insights and actionable strategies to help you thrive.   Key Takeaways:   Artists must reclaim their power—they are at the center of the art ecosystem. Ambition is not a dirty word—owning your career is essential for success. Networking isn't about chasing opportunities—it's about building authentic relationships. Art collectors should buy what they love but also stay informed about the market. The art world is unregulated, making it crucial to work with trusted advisors. Artists should not rely solely on galleries—direct sales and relationships matter. Emily's free artist guide, Navigating the Art World, is a must-have resource for emerging artists.   Sound Bites:
