How to Win as an Artist

Jackie Brubaker

Awards season has just wrapped up and it got me thinking about who really wins in art? All artists are hoping they’ll be acknowledged for their work. However, not everyone can win. Some of the best artists never “make it”. Does that mean they weren’t good enough? I don’t think so. 

In this week's episode, I talk about making art for art's sake and not for the validation of others. When you're creative you have to create. But so many artists are trying to make art or book shows and aren't getting acknowledged for it. The urge to quit is powerful as others tell you to get a "real job". But, I have a way to do both. 

Winning an award doesn’t make you a better artist. You make you a better artist. Whether you win awards or book the big jobs doesn’t matter. All that truly matters is that you’ve given it your all and continue to make your art. That is truly winning. 

Congratulations to all the artists who make their art in any way they can.
