Sunday 13 April 2014 was a day of joy, opportunity, networking and the strengthening of alliances! It is critical to understand that when you try to do something of merit that has an effect on several people, there will be support and opposition. Remember like we said in an earlier blog, the haters like you so much that they want to be you! They have a challenge communicating how they feel about you. That's why they can be negative due to some internal issues. Yes, pray for them because they can and some of them will be in your corner one day. There was a lot of blessing that went on during this event. One of the things I try to always impress upon all artists is to:
1. Be professional and approachable at all times
2. Support as many community events as possible.
3. Have at least 2 online locations that your work can be viewed.
4. Be willing to teach, demonstrate and smile while working your craft.
5. Make it clear that you are an ARTIST!
6. Market your craft and image by smiling several times everyday you live.
7. Enjoy working your craft every week knowing that you are investing in you skill level.
8. Sell your work in several communities to anchor the arts to a plethora of communities.
9. Volunteer your skills to invest in children, elderly and special needs adults & children.
10. Partner with businesses to promote and strengthen the arts.
11. Support every artist that you come in contact with every time you see them.
12. Encourage every Visual or Performing Artist by clapping, buying and offering opportunities.
13. Partner with local media to support them with their mission and to inspire others to soar!
14. Build up your positive energy daily and share your joy with others!
15. Plan to be successful and be successful.
16. Develop and diversify your mediums like no other.
17. Give Testimony of your success and show and encourage others they can do it also.
18. Weather all criticism with smile and grace.
19. Work you art around your state and out of state.
20. Strive to be in the newspaper 2x a year minimum.
I will always remember this event because we made a lot of new friends, made sure hundreds smiled, helped one fallen racer, provided interactive art with the paintings, Adhension de la Vie & Black Ice and had the opportunity to be a performing artist singing and dancing to I"M A SOUL MAN.
