What group shows have you participated in and what came from it? What did you do to be accepted into these shows?
I've been in 2 cannable flower shows and met some really nice people. To be in it you just need to show up with your art something like a day in advance if I remember correctly.
I was in the Tom of Finland erotic art show in West Hollywood and sold a very nice 800.00$ wood penis. I contacted TOF and was invited to be there.
My stuff is currently at Dr. Susan Block's Speakeasy Gallery and she tells me a group show is coming up soon. I contacted Dr Suzy, interviewed with her and promoted myself at one of her parties/filmings. No sales yet.

Re: Group Shows
Fri, March 28, 2008 - 8:58 PMI think group shows are great for grtting your name and work out there. If you do enough people actually start to remember you. I've done Cannibal Flower too and Create:fixate is my favorite of the local LA group shows. Sales? No so much, but good for promo.

Re: Group Shows
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 2:23 PMI've grown kind of tired of doing group shows-
Here's the ONE reason that I still LIKE it at all:
*This can be a really fun thing to do, too-
Enter in crazy work like you NORMALLY would never show.. don't sign your name on it,
and /or make up a name for the gallery - WHO CARES ?! And then price the work at a hundred to two hundred bucks.
That's awesome.. because it's like selling work under a pen-name... back to the FUN and get rid of that stress involved with "formal" shows.
Definitley go to the opening dressed like a whacko and drink all you can. Enjoy yourself, and go home the next day and get serious again.
