Question:

Where to start?

i went to a college prep. art high school, but cant afford to go to an art college right now, and i want to create a name with myself and have a show, so that i can sell some stuff and save up some money for college. but i'm completely unsure how to go about doing it... (no idea where to start)...

so, if someone can help me out, i'd be most thankful...



if someone can


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: join an artist group or club...there has to be one in your neck of the woods, check with galleries to meet other artists (gallerys don't want to see your work, don't even try yet, there is a way to approach them) and donate some work to auctions that promote a cause such as aids awareness or cancer research or the likes as that, that is getting you out there and you can shmooze some at the receptions...(and when you donate a work of art, you get in free, they usually give the doners 2 tickets, so take a date, and they generally have food, so it is fun and you get to eat)
it is a process not an event, you will evolve in this deal, and this is one way to atleast start to get the ball rolling...but do gravitate to some of the older artists in your area, they will be the most help.
