Thank you sharing this, Ekatarina. I would be interested to hear how you bounced back from having a show where no art sold as I recently experienced this. Did you end up exhibiting those pieces from that show elsewhere and did you eventually end up selling them later? What was confusing to me about my own experience is that I gained recognition with press and placement in art competitions with the work that I exhibited in my show. I felt like I did all that could to make it a success and am feeling a bit at a loss as to how to proceed without income coming in to offset the costs I put into that exhibit.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤️ I totally understand how confusing and disappointing it can be, but remember, our art is part of a bigger longer term picture. If you're proud of your work, as you should be, and your work is stunning, there may just be a gap between your ideal audience and those who have seen it. This means you can reintroduce that work online, showcase it again, and sell it. Some pieces took me a few years to sell, which is why I love teaching about creating additional income streams so we don’t put so much pressure on our art. I've linked my free masterclass below the video to give you some ideas too. My remedy for those slower-to-sell shows is to get back to creation, focus on growing my audience online, and try again. You’re doing all the right things!
