Show Entries, grants and Residencies

These three things can create recognition for your work and can help generate income as well.  The formats for searching may change over time due to ever changing technology.  I would search popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. A few useful search words may be: call for entries, artist grants, art show entries. You can look both local and nationally. You can all so look up CaFE – callforentry.org I am on their mailing list so they send information out to my email.  These shows can be local shows and national shows.

I tend to write down each and every show, grant or residencies that I apply for. I then will mark if I was excepted or  not.  I was told by a Tampa artist by the name of, Samson Huang, that an artist will apply to ten different shows before getting one acceptance.  I am hoping this is not the case but each of us will see.
