[PODCAST] ART PROBLEMS: How to Come Back From an Extended Art Making Break

Shana Moulton, Meta/Physical Therapy, 2024, MoMA

If you have ever felt anxious about an extended art making break, let me put your mind at ease.

It happens to almost EVERYONE.

Whether that be due to child rearing, the loss of a parent, or a significant move, the job of getting back into the game can be just as challenging as the disruptions that took you away from the studio.

You're probably worried that...

You have visible gaps in your CV that galleries will notice and ask you about

You've lose touch with many of your contacts and art friends and now they're gone for good

Your fear of not being able to get back into the networking game, will keep you from getting back into the networking game.

In this podcast, I address those fears, identify the self defeating actions artists often take when in this position, and offer actionable alternatives.

You don't have to feel stuck.

And this podcast is designed to make sure you feel empowered to take action, rather than feeling mired in fear and self doubt.

Have a listen and let me know what you think!
