What They Don’t Teach in Art School by Will Terry
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Initiative wins every time. Don’t wait for someone to hire you; pitch your ideas, stay persistent amid rejection, and create opportunities for yourself to fulfill your vision.
There are more art consumers than artists on social media, so talk to them! Gear your content towards the majority.
Want to paint a mural? Follow this process: Find an ugly wall, snap a pic, create a digital mockup of your idea, decide on a price, and pitch it to the building and business owners. Make sure to abide by all city laws and ordinances before you begin, and seek funding from big businesses and brands. Some towns will compensate you to beautify their walls!
BIO
Brandt Woods is an Arizona-based artist covering his town in colorful murals. Brandt began pitching his mural concepts to local businesses three years ago. Despite a rough start, he forged ahead with his vision and has since worked with many large corporations and local businesses. He’s created so many murals in his area that you can take a tourist-style drive through town to spot them all! He involves the community in his painting, often inviting locals and other artists to participate in his murals. Check out his work on Instagram @brandtwoods.
