Angela Fehr Watercolour | Are Juried Art Shows Good for Artists? Pros and Cons of Entering Your Art in Competitions @angelfehr | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Should you enter your art in competitions? What should you do if your art is rejected, or never wins an award? Do art shows really tells your art is good or bad?
I have a love/hate relationship with art competitions and juried shows. They offer exposure for artists, but is it the right kind of exposure? Is it really worth the cost and effort?
Can you succeed as an artist and yet never win an award?
How do you handle feelings of rejection after you are not chosen for yet another art show, or if you enter regularly and never win a prize?
I've been entering my art in shows for decades, and I have some insights to share. Some of them I am just learning now, but I want to encourage you today wherever you are at. There's more to this than you think!
