Artists Packet
The reading this week was rather informative for me as I did not know the steps or process of getting ones work into a gallery. Its interesting how even as an artist, one still has to create a resume in order for their work to be considered fro a gallery. This makes it seem like any other type of job. The exercise in the beginning of making a time line of the things one has done is, to me, a wonderful exercise for someone to do even if it's not for a job. It allows one to look back and realize what they have done like how someone can lay out all their past work and begin to see a connection. The idea of an artist packet is to make oneself seem committed and desirable to an art gallery. This packet ends up representing the artists and their work so it is important to create a good packet. This includes getting high quality image of ones work whether from a professional photographer or doing it themselves. The packet needs to be professional so that it reflects well on the artist and their work. A poorly put together packet leads the gallery to think the artists isn't committed or responsible thus making them unappealing to the gallery.
