Introduce Yourself Confidently as an Artist (#65)

Introducing yourself as an artist is a topic I never could have dreamed up while I was working in art museums. It wouldn't have occurred to me that artists would have a hard time introducing themselves. It seems like all you have to do is say, "I'm an artist" and the conversation opens wide.

But what I've learned in the years since working in the museum bubble is that it isn't always that easy to say "I'm an artist". Then, when the words finally do come out, what do you say after that? If you've found yourself struggling to confidently introduce yourself as an artist, know that you are not alone. A well-crafted introduction should seem effortless but it also has the potential to change the course of a conversation and connect you with people who can have a great impact on your work.

Let's examine why introducing yourself as an artist can be such a struggle, why you should care about confidently introducing yourself as an artist, and what you can do today to master the art of introducing yourself as an artist.
