Why are artists so closed off or show WIP.And why artists won’t take apprentices

Artists Soar

Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss why artists are so closed off and why they won't show off their art or take on apprentices. If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at [email protected]

Key talking points:

• Every artist takes on a subject or approaches art and art business differently because they are different. So is there really competition among apprentices?
• Are interns the new apprentices?
• Direct interaction cannot be replaced with a video. For a real internship or apprenticeship, you need to have a direct discussion.
• What about coaching? Coaching is more for growing beyond what you are right now.
• Quote "Our generation monetized the crap out of everything."
• If you want to hire an intern or apprentice, you need to review your state labor laws.
• We prefer to use FreeUp or Fivvr to handle the jobs we don't want to do.
• Are we standoff because we don't want to be judged or should you be open about your process and the evolution of the piece?

What are your thoughts on all of this? Are you closed off or consider your process part of the creative journey you want to share, email us at [email protected]
