| Artist Websites | 25 Sep 2021 | 00:06:19 | |
I see a lot of artists websites and I have noticed that an artist with a lot of experience can still have a poor website. Whether an artist is new to the game or they have years of experience under their belt, I have noticed their website can still be letting them down. This typically happens when they don't communicate their recent experience or upcoming events, and have not thought through the website visitor journey. So many artist websites neglect the visitor journey and their sites are in need of updating with recent and current experiences of the artists. In this episode I share some of the areas that can help you update your website and create a better visitor journey so your website really works for you. Details for my 3 month program starting 5th October can be seen here https://thecuratorssalon.com/on-being-seen

| Show Your Art - How to build an art career without a gallery | 05 Mar 2021 | 00:15:55 | |
I talk about my book, Show Your Art, How to build an art career without a gallery. I published this book in April 2020 as an ebook, then as a paperback in August 2020. In this episode I talk about writing the book, and the joy of seeing it make positive impact on the lives of the artists who it was written for. Originally aimed at artists in the early stages of their career, the book aims to empower artists to take things into their own hands rather than wait for a gallery to come calling. After all, there are more artists than galleries could ever manage.

| Mindset for artists 5/5 | 16 Jun 2020 | 00:19:11 | |
Vicky Ross and I talk about mindset, and in particular procrastination, overwhelm and how the mind works. We talk about the inner world that we live in and the outer world. If what we're thinking about inside is not clear, the brain requires you to get clarity and until such time , it goes into 'pause' mode so it can eventually execute in the physical world. If you think you are self sabotaging, or procrastinating it is often a lack of clarity that is holding you back. Take a listen to the episode. Vicky and I are putting together an online course about mindset for artists who want to uplevel in their life and business.

| Mindset for artists 4/5 | 11 Jun 2020 | 00:18:50 | |
I talk to Vicky Ross about how our personal history is the lens through which we see our future. Many artists I work with are moving into being full time artists and others are transitioning their careers. The problem I see over and over is that most artists are seeking visibility and success, but internally they hold themselves back while outwardly voicing their goals. In this episode Vicky talks about looking at our history through the successes we have had, even if they were not connected to their art. Then she talks about being present, and using the present as the starting point and asking what you would do differently if you had all the resources to achieve the things you wanted. In the present moment, we need to get very specific and clear about the things we want in the next 6-12 months. She discusses that in each moment we are capable of changing our thoughts and the future we would like for ourselves. Vicky goes on to discuss the thoughts that can arise that do not serve us, and how to ask ourselves better questions. And how to return to the present moment at any time the inner critic rises up or we feel anxious about moving forward in our art and business. This episode is number 4 of 5 episodes about mindset for artists who want to uplevel in their art and business.

| Mindset for artists 3/5 | 10 Jun 2020 | 00:14:32 | |
I talk to Vicky Ross about energy that we carry in our art businesses. Many artists that I speak to are looking for sales, gallery representation, recognition and validation of their art. However the energy you hold internally can often be incongruent with the things you desire and this can make it feel like you are always struggling, and the things you want for your career are constantly out of reach. In this episode we talk about personal energy and self awareness and how this can affect your art practice and business. This episode is number 3 of 5 episodes about mindset for artists who want to uplevel in their art and business.

| Mindset for artists 2/5 | 09 Jun 2020 | 00:18:53 | |
Many artists have confidence in their work in the studio but suddenly find it isnt there when it comes to taking their work into the marketplace. In this episode I talk to Vicky Ross, a transformation coach, about confidence. Too often I see artists feeling unsure, and insecure when they it comes to growing their audience or making sales. Low confidence in our work can seriously hold us back and in this episode Vicky talks about improving confidence around your art business in particular.

| Mindset for artists 1/5 | 08 Jun 2020 | 00:11:06 | |
In this episode Vicky Ross and I talk about emotions, particularly the emotions we carry around our work. I often talk to artists who are nervous or anxious about showing up. Often they want to grow their online audience but fear rejection or humiliation and avoid using social media altogether. Vicky explains how our imprint years affect us as adults, and how self awareness helps us take control again to work towards the things we want. This is the first of five episodes about mindset for artists.

| Artist Support Pledge | 06 Apr 2020 | 00:41:18 | |

He talks about how it started after hearing so many people found their exhibitions and fairs cancelled or postponed. Burrows goes on to explain the culture of generosity that he sees coming out of this, how the pledge works, and talks about some of the messages that he received from participating artists. Artist as patron is one part of the pledge, where an artist agrees to purchase the work of another once they have made sales of a £1000/ $1000 themselves. Burrows talks about setting the price at £/$ 200 as an accessible level for people who are new to buying art as well as established collectors, and how selling directly fits into the art business economy. https://www.instagram.com/thegitajoshi/ https://www.instagram.com/artistsupportpledge/ http://www.matthewburrows.org/home Buy my book SHOW YOUR ART

| Yeshen Venema | 19 Dec 2019 | 00:16:05 | |
The designer-maker’s favourite photographer, Yeshen Venema is my guest on this episode of the podcast. He talks about preparing for a professional photo shoot so that you can get your art and products looking their best. If you have ever applied for a fair, a market, an event or anything similar you will have been asked to submit images which is then used in their marketing. Even stockists and galleries often use the maker’s photos on their website and social media. As such the photos are used beyond your own website and social media feed and that is why investing in a professional is always a good idea.
