Friends of Artist Carl Childs

New information will be posted about opportunities to purchase my work and support community events.  I'm constantly working different events in several communities and I'm interested in partnering with individuals to reach more people with the arts. 

Support Community Events

This past Saturday was the Home Grown Music Fest in Gastonia.  I was the featured visual artist that displayed paintings, prints and ceramics.  It was a tremendous boost to my art followers.  Most important it was an opportunity to speak life into every situation in Gastonia and the surrounding areas.  It takes the will of the entire community to create as many positive individuals as possible.  It is important for everyone to know that they are not alone.  You have people that love and will help you through whatever you may go through.  As an artist, I use several mediums to communicate and inspire the world.  I choose to share my talents, build and encourage others to win.  KEEP WINNING!

Appreciate the Skill of the Artist (PART 1)

Appreciate the skill of the Artist!   When it comes to being an artist, we are able to do and create things that most people don't achieve.  When the car isn't working, people complain but pay whatever the cost is to get it fixed.   When the dentist says there needs to be some work done, you pay the price on way or another.  You make arrangements, or have "jacked teeth".  When you go to your favorite restaurant and order your meal.  You pay, and you should be tipping your waiter or waitress for good or excellent service.   These are all examples of individuals, I also will include or declare them to be artist. 

I know how to cook really well.  I can out cook 2-3 generations of several families.  It does take an artist to prepare the food of the highest quality and full of robust flavor.  It takes an artist, to see what you could look like with or without good teeth.  It takes an artist, to get your car working again.  Every one's skill has value.

Visual & Performing artists', work, skill, time and teaching ability all have value.  I teach artists how to introduce, build and establish value for their craft.  It doesn't matter if your craft is paper, wood, crayon, marker, fiber, clay, ink ect.  It all has value, and a place in this world.  Everyone has a beautiful voice on the inside.  Artist take that voice and manifest it into something beautiful for others to be encouraged and grab joy.

I encourage artist at every level to continue to produce your work.  1. It increases your skill level. 2. It will bring joy and understand to you.  3. Don't cheat the world out of an opportunity to see something amazing from you. 4. You can generate a stream of income from your efforts.  5. You will eventually gain followers, supports and sponsors. 6. You will encourage others to have the courage that you show.  7. You are ensuring that the arts will be strong and alive in the future.  8. You will have opportunities to beautify your community.  9.  Your passion for what you do will encourage others to fight and overcome fear.  10.  You will have testimony to share with anyone that you choose to share the inside story with.  KEEP WINNING
