This week a friend of mine has her first art exhibit. She is a fine young artist. Her daytime job is as a web and graphic designer, so this is a new experience for her. I feel very good about helping her to accomplish this event. I lent her frames and helped her with press releases, a guest book and so forth and I will help her to set up and hang her show.
I think it is important for established artists to lend their expertise, advice and even their studio and equipment to help a young inexperienced artist get a start in this business.
Mentoring is so important and it doesn't take a lot of time or money, just a lot of caring. I also bought a painting for my daughter this week from an emerging artist.
I believe we artists who are secure in our careers have some obligation to help those who are coming up behind us. If artists wont nurture each other, who else will?
It's a tough business we have chosen and few are able to survive in it. Is there an artist you know who could use some advise or a purchase of a small painting? Is there someone who just needs a bit of encouragement?
Take an artist out for coffee one day and spend some time together.
