How to Feel Like a Successful Artist (#165)

There's no neat way to explain what success is because it's different for every artist. I hope this episode is the start of an ongoing conversation on the subject.

💡HIGHLIGHTS

Success for artists might include income (sales), exhibitions, leadership roles, achievements, collections, and studio production.
A few of the diverse stories of success from artist-guests of The Art Biz.
The importance of aligning the goals for your art and expectations of yourself with how you want your life to be.
Success requires you to be nimble—to adapt to changing circumstances and be open to risks and failures.
My best advice: Success doesn't happen all at once. It's the result of small wins, each of which must be acknowledged in order to stay motivated and focused on your vision.
