Art Fair Bingo: Stories You Can't Make Up

from The Independent Artist Podcast · host Douglas Sigwarth/ Will Armstrong

Welcome to The Independent Artist Podcast with your hosts Douglas and Will — the show where we pull back the curtain on the real life of working artists. Art Fair Bingo: Stories You Can't Make UpWhat do threatening storms, celebrity sightings, unsolicited business advice, and tens of thousands of customer interactions have in common? They all happened during our recent whirlwind through some of the country's biggest art events.In this episode, Douglas and Will unpack the wild, funny, frustrating, and occasionally surreal moments from a stretch that included Main Street Fort Worth, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Southlake, Brookside Art Annual, and Artisphere. From keeping one eye on the radar as storms threatened to upend entire weekends, to navigating the feeling of losing control when circumstances refuse to cooperate, the road delivered no shortage of stories.Along the way, we talk about the customers who generously offered their suggestions on everything from booth design to business strategy, unexpected celebrity encounters, and the challenge of processing the overwhelming amount of information gathered from thousands of conversations with a constant stream of humanity. What do all of those interactions tell us about the shows, the art, and ourselves?Pull up a chair as we play a round of Art Fair Bingo and share the stories you simply couldn't make up—even if you tried. Every square on the card got marked during this run.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram https://www.instagram.com/independentartistpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/independentartistpodcastWebsite https://independentartistpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@theindependentartistpodcastEmail [email protected] (contact us here about advertising on our show)PLEASE RATE US AND REVIEW US.......... and SUBSCRIBE to the pod on your favorite streaming app.SUPPORT THE SHOWVENMO/ username @independentartistpodcast or through PAYPAL.ME by clicking on this link https://paypal.me/independentartistpod?locale.x=en_USSponsorsThe National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA). http://www.naiaartists.org/membership-account/membership-levels/ZAPPlication https://www.zapplication.orgSupport the show
