Breaking Barriers: How to Approach Art World Professionals with Confidence
Today, I want to share something close to my heart, a message that's all about unlocking your potential and finding opportunities you never thought possible. Let's dive in and discover how you can take your art career to the next level.
Giving People a Chance - The Art of Possibilities
We've all been there, right? That moment when we hesitate to approach someone we admire, whether it's a gallery owner, collector, or curator. We're gripped by the fear of rejection, the fear that they'll say no or, even worse, slam the door right in our faces.
I've been there too. Countless times, I've had these incredible ideas for art shows I wanted to curate in specific places, but my own self-doubt held me back. In my mind, I was certain they would reject my proposal.
But here's the thing: more often than not, the story we create in our heads doesn't match reality. We assume the worst, but we never truly give these individuals a chance to respond. We shouldn't be writing their responses for them in our minds. Instead, we should open the door to the possibility that they might say yes, or at the very least, respond in a way we hadn't anticipated.
Embrace Surprises and Opportunities
Life has a funny way of surprising us. It can present us with opportunities we never knew existed. When we gather the courage to take that first step and approach those we admire, we open the door to a world of possibilities. Sometimes, all it takes is that initial contact to lead us down a path we never thought we'd travel.
So, I encourage each and every one of you to take that first step. Don't let the fear of rejection hold you back. Give people the opportunity to respond, and you may just be astonished by the results.
