The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career? Applications are now open for the next Artist Mastermind Circle—a six-month coaching programme for mid-career artists who are serious about growing their confidence, income, and opportunities. Apply by 21 July at https://cerihand.com/artist-mastermind-circle/ and take the next bold step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Authentic story telling is at the core of being able to gain attention. Tell your story – if you don’t, someone else will and it might not reflect who you really are or what you stand for. Your work and voice can make a difference for others. Don´t feel guilty about being paid. Ask for feedback – it gets you out of your own head. Keep in touch with those who you work for/with. Understand how systems work so you can move through them with clarity, care and agency. BEST MOMENTS “Storytelling isn't just PR or promotion, it's how we shape perception, create resonance and invite people into our worlds” “I live within a story; I am genetically coded to gravitate towards stories as are you.” “It's the individual stories that contribute to a collective change.” “What do you want to change? - you have the power to change it.” “There are multiple art worlds, and the art market is different from the art world.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.hunter-braithwaite.com https://www.instagram.com/hunterbraithwaite https://culturalcounsel.com PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.
