Susan Nethercote Studio Insider Art Podcast

Show Notes

In today’s episode, Steph and I are chatting about how our recent decision to pursue exhibiting our artwork has enriched our art practices in a variety of ways.

Since re-orienting our art businesses to include exhibiting, both of having found that we are reaping huge benefits in the way we are approaching day-to-day studio time. For both of us, it now includes more of the deep and considered exploration of materials and techniques that come with upping the ante with what we are creating. We are also both valuing the process of diving deeper into the less tangible moments of creative exploration that can sometimes be lost in the busyness of having an online art business.

This a great conversation that unpacks how to rediscover the joy in art exploration that comes along with creating a body of work.

In this episode, we talked about:

How exhibiting your work can help you grow as an artist

Displaying and selling your art

Benefits of exhibiting your art

Steph’s art practice with ceramics

Exhibiting as a useful tool for networking and building relationships with other artists and art professionals

And my first solo art exhibition
