My "career" as a photographic artist has been somewhat rocky. Some shows have been good and some so bad I didn't meet expenses. No show has ever been great. There is always a learning curve so I have "learned" a lot about what type of shows work best for my art and am getting better at the jury process. I have sought the opinion of other 2-D artists and keep getting the encouragement that my work is excellent and well priced and I shouldn't give up but...
I live in St. Louis and have not gone any farther than Kansas City. Can anyone make anyone make any suggestions within the Greater St. Louis Area or a 200 mile radius that are good for 2D artists?
I'm just wanting to pick some shows to try for this coming year where I stand a fighting chance. I'd like to be in shows where there is a reasonable expectation of a buying public. If there are crowds and those in the crowds are carrying bags, then it's shame on me if my work doesn't sell.
