pet peeve - people blaming the economy for not selling art. I believe the
people that buy art are not really that effected by the media so called bad
economy!
Perhaps it's because I have never tried art fairs during the easy money boom
times I always hear about so when I don't make as MUCH money selling art as I
used too I'm not disappointed.

Hi, Jake! I decided to get more serious about photography about 4 years ago when
I retired. Then the economy tanked. I've been staying out of the art show
circuits primarily because of the economy. I do a few local shows, but I'm
waiting for the economy to improve, and meanwhile learning! I don't know what
you have available to you where you live, but ways to learn and make contacts
are local art leagues and local photography clubs. Art leagues often have
shows, some juried. One of the art leagues I'm in has a gallery that you can
get juried into so my work is there all the time. I've also joined a co-op
gallery so I'm selling in two places locally.
I have learned an enormous amount from the people in these organizations, both
photographers and painters.
I should also mention this is a very difficult way to make money and a very
difficult time. Even our most well known local artists are struggling in this
economy and are supplementing their businesses by teaching and other endeavors.
Many galleries are closing due to bad sales, not only here but in major art
venues like Santa Fe.
I am enjoying myself enormously though!
Good luck!
Judy
