Impressions from Secrets of the Forest Exhibition

Some takeaway, from the participation to my first exhibition in Berlin, were the following (maybe this is any helpful advice for some aspiring artists):

- go to the opening of the exhibition, study the reactions of the viewers

- have a nice presentation material about the collection, the works and the artist . I've done eventually a flyer myself, in Adobe Express (very easy to work with), but I've still returned the result 5 times before "good for printing". Never underestimate the job of the copywriter and the marketing officer dealing with the tantrums of the "client". I was the client and the marketing officer this time and it was an interesting situation, to say at least.

- do not worry about frames, but mind their color, it can make or brake the presentation of your works

- put some realistic prices if you want to sell (see the prices for some similar works for benchmarking), otherwise, set your price and stick to it, you establish your value (unless, as I've said,. you are a product that needs to go off the shelf asap or you starve to death).

- I have loved the theme of the exhibition, the forest and I am happy to see that arts and environment blend together so well even nowadays. For such a long time, a muse and inspiration, Nature is now a subject that needs also protection and a convincing message for support and artists are good at that. Wish a lot of success to all, artists and curators!

That's the flyer, definitely not as good as an advertising agency could have done it :-) They would have insisted on font consistency, for example, but I've chosen speed over perfection this time :-))
