Art Show Rejection

312 - Art Show Rejection

This week John and Barb are talking about a prevalent phenomenon in the Art world if you submit your work to shows and competitions. Namely, rejection!

Don’t let it define or defeat you! It might mean that you should level up in your skill or technique. Or it most likely means nothing at all.

A contest with one judge or juror is just one person’s opinion. That’s all. A show with more than one is more than one opinion. That’s all.

Note: This episode was recorded prior to the CPSA’s 2021 exhibition announcement of awards.

BONUS Video Available - Barb and John recorded a separate, “Frist Impressions” show (inside Members Circle) discussing the winning artwork from the 2021 CPSA’s exhibition.
