Cultivating a Positive Self-Concept & Overcoming Fear

Welcome to this week’s episode of Art Is... a podcast for artists where writer Odette Brady and Isotta discuss the evolution of Cel del Nord, Odette’s artist residency program. Odette shares her approach for cultivating a supportive environment that celebrates connection, growth, and honest feedback. Odette highlights the most common issues that creatives were facing in her residency program during the pandemic. Through lots of trial and error, she realized that what the artists needed the most was a sense of consistency, rotating leadership, and a space to ask and receive questions. Isotta and Odette explore how to contextualize and de-personalize feedback, especially when it’s negative. They also discuss how to get out of your own way when you’re being your own worst critic. Odette describes her vision for the future of Cel del Nord, including her plans for a hybrid online and in-person option. They round out the conversation by talking about the trend of an art viewer being either a participant or an audience for the entire creative process. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:The importance of discussing a work-in-progress with trusted peers Odette’s three key pieces of advice for anyone who wants to create a community for artists The impactful emotional response of receiving a question versus a critique Detaching your worth as a creative person from one single piece of work Odette’s thought process behind offering a hybrid online and in-person option at Cel del NordGuest Info:Connect with Odette Brady on her website.Follow Us:Our WebsiteInstagram | Isotta’s InstagramFacebookTwitterDonate | Music by Blue Dot Sessions | Cover art by Eleonora Tucci Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations

Art Work Is Real Work

Episode 17: Welcome to this week’s episode of Art Is... a podcast for artists. In this 2nd part of Isotta’s conversation with Gisela A. Lazarate, a Venezuelan abstract painter based in NYC, Gisela shares her advice on utilizing social media, pushing your boundaries, and attaching a price to your artwork early on. Social media opens the door to both positive and negative influences. To get the most out of the social experience, to reach a wider audience and connect with them directly, find what you’re comfortable with sharing and put more of it out there. Take breaks often and try scheduling posts in advance. For Gisela, her largest goal in the art business is to keep pushing her boundaries, stay independent, and participate in more residencies to get the most out of experiencing art in person. Her hope for the art world is for all artists to have more control over their careers and for more collaborative relationships among artists to be born. Join Isotta on today’s episode as Gisela breaks down how to attach a price to your artwork and why it is so important to think about it in the early stages of the creative process. * Opening clip by Creative Career Coach Lauryn Hill Learn more at: www.curatedsplash.comIG: @curatedsplashBook your free career clarity session: lauryn@curatedsplash.comListen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:A habit of putting more out there creates community and makes it more accessibleGoal of social media is to reach a wider audience and connect with people more directlyBalancing offline and online in the art businessHow to price artwork, where to start, and how to keep it consistentArtists to have more control on their careers and to build a stronger communityGuest Info:Connect with Gisela Lazarate on Instagram, on her website, or via email at hello@galazarte.com. Follow Us:Our WebsiteInstagram | Isotta’s InstagramFacebookTwitterDonate | Music by Blue Dot Sessions | Cover art by Eleonora TucciSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations

Putting Your Creative Process First

Episode 14: Welcome to this week’s episode of Art Is... a podcast for artists where Cindy Leung, ceramic artist and Artist-in-Residence at Belger Art Center, advises young artists to put aside the ego of Instagram and feel confident in having an online portfolio to passively promote.Using Instagram as an online portfolio can be intimidating as you compare yourself to other artists. Cindy recommends reframing these negative experiences into positive ones by simply reaching out to the artist and asking how they received an opportunity. She tells us the most effective way to get what you want is to ask for it. Apart from looking for opportunities, how are young artists able to sell their work? Talking to galleries via email or in person is a thing of the past and e-commerce is leading the way in the art industry. Getting recognized and, even better, liked, is best showcased on–you guessed it–Instagram. Join Isotta on today’s episode as Cindy Leung talks us through selling artwork passively and actively and how a consumer determines the value of said artwork.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:Using Instagram as a tool to promote themselves but not letting it intimidate youPeer to peer resource pool to encourage artistsSellable art passively through galleries and actively through craft fairsHow to talk to galleries versus selling artwork via Instagram or EtsyValue of the artwork versus liking the artist as a personAffordable art, what is affordable art and how do we determine what that is?Guest Info:Connect with Cindy Leung on Instagram, on her website, or via email at cindy.clsy@gmail.com Follow Us:Our WebsiteInstagram | Isotta’s InstagramFacebookTwitterDonate | Music by Blue Dot Sessions | Cover art by Eleonora TucciSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations

Getting Away from your Ego

We are brainstorming the future of the art world. On Art Is… Isotta Page encourages other emerging artists, students and early-career creatives to collectively visualize the future of the art world and the creative industries. Season 1 is a narrative miniseries—7 short monologues designed to spark your interest and introduce you to creative knowledge tools, emerging tech, innovative business models, and alternative mindsets impacting artists today. Season 2 revisits each theme from Season 1 through conversations with creative thought leaders, emerging artists, and change-makers in the tech industry, design world and startup space. Season 3 follows the theme 'artists leveraging tech' and dives into new ideas around digital strategy and leadership for artists and creatives. We also return to topics from past seasons including: learning from beyond the traditional art world (especially startup and design spaces), exploring alternative business models and investigating the opportunities presented by emerging tech (NFT's, Metaverse, Web 3 and more! ).Art Is... seeks to destigmatize storytelling, break down barriers between creative disciplines, and embolden artists to broaden their perspectives by learning from other industries. On the podcast, we push back against traditional art world norms to gain agency over our art careers and work to build a creative community that will change the landscape of contemporary art and beyond.Rate, Review &amp; Subscribe!Follow us on InstagramDonate

Setting Mindful and Strategic Professional Goals

We are brainstorming the future of the art world. On Art Is… Isotta Page encourages other emerging artists, students and early-career creatives to collectively visualize the future of the art world and the creative industries. Season 1 is a narrative miniseries—7 short monologues designed to spark your interest and introduce you to creative knowledge tools, emerging tech, innovative business models, and alternative mindsets impacting artists today. Season 2 revisits each theme from Season 1 through conversations with creative thought leaders, emerging artists, and change-makers in the tech industry, design world and startup space. Season 3 follows the theme 'artists leveraging tech' and dives into new ideas around digital strategy and leadership for artists and creatives. We also return to topics from past seasons including: learning from beyond the traditional art world (especially startup and design spaces), exploring alternative business models and investigating the opportunities presented by emerging tech (NFT's, Metaverse, Web 3 and more! ).Art Is... seeks to destigmatize storytelling, break down barriers between creative disciplines, and embolden artists to broaden their perspectives by learning from other industries. On the podcast, we push back against traditional art world norms to gain agency over our art careers and work to build a creative community that will change the landscape of contemporary art and beyond.Rate, Review &amp; Subscribe!Follow us on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/artispodcast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Instagram</a><a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/375bbc0d-c052-4330-b73b-aad1ba5ed2d9/sponsor" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Donate</a>
