151: 4 Categories of Art?!
I stumbled across a post from Dr Louise R Mayhew on Instagram: @louisermayhew that blew my mind.
She shared a post with a cover slide that says: “Did you know that there’s more than one art world?” There are at least four she goes on to say:
* Experimental* Traditional* Retail* Community
On the podcast Mom and I discuss the details of the categories as Dr. Mayhew lays out and add our own thoughts to the mix. I find it to be a really useful rubric. What do you think?

149: How to Talk About Your Artwork
Talking about your artwork effectively can enhance how it’s perceived and understood. Talking about it ineffectively can make people less interested in your work. One of the big keys is to consider your audience. Generally speaking, you’re going to be speaking to: Fellow Artists, Art Folk (Curators, Gallerists, Collectors, Etc.), or the General Public. During the podcast, we go over how to handle each type of conversation so that you’re understood and of interest to your audience.

148: Must the Artistic Life be Solitary?
Mom came up with today’s topic. It’s a fair question. Do you think that the artistic life is solitary or based in community?

147: Putting Yourself Out There
“Putting yourself out there” refers to various strategies artists use to gain exposure, connect with audiences, and advance their careers. During this podcast we’ll talk about some ways to make the process of putting yourself out there easier – especially if you’re an introvert or insecure. Remember that putting yourself out there is a gradual process, and it’s okay to take it at your own pace. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and acknowledge the courage it takes to share your creativity with the world.

Customer Reviews
Love the podcast
I so look forward to hearing the Adventures in Arting podcasts with Julie and her mom. Interesting topics, broad discussions, educational, enlightening, inspiring. Just love these podcasts and never miss one! Listening elevates my thought processes.
Julie, I must encourage you to give your mom a big hug. She is an inspiration as well. And you are so fortunate to have a mom that continues to elevate herself and others through learning and teaching.
I am grateful for your podcasts and your mom daughter partnership. Special on many levels. Namaste.🙏🏼❤️
Yours is the best
Yours was one of the first podcasts I listened to, if not THE first. I’ve listened to all of them from the beginning and I have to say that even with all the podcast offerings available nowadays, yours remains my favorite. I’m happy to see more regular installments lately. I love the information but mostly the conversational nature and ease with which you and your mom, and occasional guests, talk about art and life.
Wahoo!
Happy 100th anniversary ladies! I’ve listened to every one!
