I was an artist/Army wife for sixteen years and virtually had to start over building my reputation with each move. I always found the best and quickest way to get to know
the art movers and shakers was to volunteer in the local artists’ guilds. If you are
on the board, you will not only meet with the heads of area museums and exhibit spaces, but you will meet other artists and discover the ones who are on your wavelength. I often got to select judges and assist them during local competitions and these were gallery owners or directors of Arts Councils.

Yes, they did Alyson. I was new to the area and had not personally met any of them. I believe the question was something like "what does your art say about you, your personality, your likes, your style? Do you think it is critical to stay withing a specific genre or style to be successful? So what is your personal definition of success?" I emailed it out, let us all get friendly for a while (pouring the wine), served dinner and then started the conversation. It was not important for this evening to stay on topic, just needed to have an ice-breaker as such. We made certain that among the 10 guests we had a variety of mediums (poetry, landscape, potter, book maker, writer etc). It was great fun and really opened a lot of new avenues of personal and professional friendships for me.]]> In reply to Alyson Stanfield.
