If you're an artist, you probably care about people connecting with your art, so "marketing of art" seems pretty important or at least understandable. I'm sure there are some myths of famous artists who stumbled into wild success (where "success" means "lots of people connecting with one's art" whether or not the artist makes significant money), but even if those myths are true, I'm pretty sure it's not a recipe others can reproduce--most people will probably need to worry about marketing and even that may not be enough.
- b3morales 5y agoSure, but starting from that end is like saying "I want to be a millionaire CTO who speaks at conferences" while having no tech experience. To get recognition for doing a thing, you have to begin with doing the thing. And you're not going to make a mark in any field without being aware of what other people are doing.
