Comments on: Now More Than Ever: The Essential Role of Self-Care for Artists in Life and Work https://artmarketingnews.com/self-care-for-artists/ Innovative art marketing advice for visual artists weekly since 2005 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 16:24:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Barney Davey https://artmarketingnews.com/self-care-for-artists/#comments/57908 https://artmarketingnews.com/?p=46824#comment-57908 In reply to Richard Shaffett.

Hi Richard, Thank you for your thoughtful message—I really appreciate it. The future of the art market is on everyone’s mind these days, and you’re not alone in feeling uncertain. There’s so much shifting around us, and it’s only natural to wonder where things are headed. That said, I do think there’s always a place for art, even if the ways we share and connect with it continue to change. Art adapts, and so do artists.

I admire your focus on self-care as a top priority. Sometimes, the best thing we can do in turbulent times is to take a step back, quiet the mind, and focus on what brings us peace and purpose. It’s not easy, but as you said, it may be the ultimate form of self-care. Thank you again for your kind words—they mean a lot to me. Keep taking care of yourself and keep creating when you feel ready. We’re all in this together, finding our way forward.

I have mixed feelings as to whether there will even continue to be an art market any more- what do you think? It really feels better to trust that the Universe is aligning things for some higher and better outcome, but it is a hard thing to do when you see the complete insanity all around and your logical linear mind won’t shut up, but that seems like the ultimate self-care to me. You are an angel disguised as one of us!!!

Hi Moira,
Here’s a rephrased version:

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly grateful that the article resonated with you and provided a timely reminder. Self-care is a lesson we all need to revisit from time to time, especially amidst life’s demands. I’m honored that you find value in my articles and that they can serve as a gentle nudge toward a balanced, peaceful approach.

Thank you again for your thoughtful note. May you find moments of rest and renewal as you continue your journey. Peace to you as well.
