WHAT IS ART BATTLE?
Art BattleÂ® is live competitive painting. Painters create the best work they can in 20 minutes. As they work, patrons move around the easels, closely watching the creative process. The medium is acrylic paint and the tools allowed are brushes, palette knives or any non-mechanical implements. At the end of the round, the audience votes democratically for their favourite painting and bids in silent auction to take the work home. Art Battle happens in more than 50 cities worldwide, check artbattle.com for local listings!

Making a living as an artist

Hey artists, do you have a difficult time trying to make a living through your art sales alone? Itâ€™s useful to have multiple sources of income, such as gallery showings, teaching, online sales, commission projects,Â grants, selling reproductions of your work like prints and greeting cards, and product licensing. Social media is booming, there are many artists doing tutorials on YouTube. You can make money through paid ads if you have a large following.

How To Write An Artist Statement (from Saatchi Art)

Finding out more about you as an artist is very important to art collectors who are considering buying your work, as well as to our own curators when selecting artworks to feature on Saatchi Art.

Your bio should include such information as: where you were born and raised; where you currently live; your education; prizes and awards you’ve won; exhibitions that you’ve taken part in; and collections (both private and public) that include your work.

The artist statement is a basic description of your works and your reason for creating them. A successful artist statement clearly explains the reason you’ve made your work. We recommend that an artist statement be no longer than 200 words.

Some questions to consider:

What is the subject matter of my work?
What is my work about?
How do I make my work?
Where do I find the images I use?
How do I want the audience to respond to my work?
How does my work compare to historical or contemporary artwork?
