I hosted another successful group art exhibition this past Saturday! After numerous successful exhibitions and a year of related volunteer work with a local non-profit, this past weekend I was offered a paid position coordinating solo and group exhibitions at a local gallery!! This position will not replace my full time job, however, the extra income will help pay my studio rent and the experience is priceless!! Hard work=success!
Michael Wade replied to Meghan Turley's discussion Starting something new"Hey Meghan,
First, I'd love to see your artwork if you can post any examples here.
Second, this is only my 2cents worth, but your new idea seems really risky to me. In theory, I like the idea of used equipment (not clothes though,…"

I tried the fine art circuit this summer- fun, exhausting and expensive. So now I know amping up fine art sales is probably not going to fulfill me, I am looking at a new idea.

We also have a few shops in towns 1-2 hours away that are similar to our interests. Our town does not currenltly have anything like this. We do not have any…See More

After taking on as many projects as possible and planning and coordinating multiple art exhibitions, working on projects with a local non- profit organization, I just realized the common denomiator. I love project management! I have a BA in Communications and minor in Art- what kind of background is usually needed to work professionally doing project management? I am doing a lot of volunteering to help planning projects, is there a specific degree that is more tailored to this field? I…See More

Kent Julian said… - Hello Meghan,
I try to take time each week to welcome new members to 48Days.Net. So, let me say "welcome" to you! I know you will find this to be a great site filled with people who are experiencing true success in both life and work.
Also, I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!
Finally, if you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out these two groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place:
* Speak It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Speakers!
* Write It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Writers!
Again, enjoy 48Days.Net. It's a great place to be!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian
