When Does It Pay to Plan Ahead? [Art Juice Ep: 46]

As artists sometimes we are not that organised... we like to be free spirits, right? But this really doesn't work if we want to move our careers forward and take advantage of the opportunities available to us. This week, we discuss our own approaches to planning for events such as exhibitions, contests, art fairs and workshops. Louise admits that she has missed out several times because of a lack of planning, while Alice has developed a system to ensure this doesn't happen. As we chat, we share practical tips and strategies including how to find the opportunities in your area, and what dates to monitor.

We also share our excitement at having created paintings that feel different - and are either the best things we've ever done, or destined for the bonfire. We're really not sure which!
