74: What Art Basel Can Do for You: Lessons from Kayla's December Trip

Episode Mentioned: The Sparkly Tampon Effect In this episode of The Splatter Effect, Kendal and I unpack everything I learned from my trip to Art Basel 2025. We discuss the inspiration, the surprises, the networking opportunities, and the behind-the-scenes moments you won’t find on Instagram (like the men in the bar I recorded with their permission). We break down why you, as an artist or creative, should seriously consider attending at least once in your career. From market trends and collector behavior, this episode gives you the “why” behind the Basel hype and how showing up can shift the trajectory of your art business. Whether you're dreaming of going one day or planning your first trip, this conversation will help you see exactly how Art Basel can work for you. Come listen for encouragement, strategy, and a fresh perspective on the biggest art event in North America. It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends. Meet your new business besties Kayla Cole Pacana (Art Business Coach) and Kendal Blanchard (Fine Artist from Fairhope, AL) as they dissect all things life, art, and business. Tune in to learn how to navigate the ups and downs of running your own creative business. SPARK SESSION WITH KAYLA'S TEAM Follow: ➡️ @klacole ➡️ @kendalblanchardart ➡️ @thesplattereffectpodcast
