One of my favorite experiences as a leader of the Dripping Springs Art League is seeing artists show their art outside the home.
As many creatives (artists, writers, musicians, cooks…you name it) can relate, most develop their craft at home. The only people to experience their art tend to be family and friends. So the feedback is limited and tends to get stale after a while.
With the support of our Clubs and Business of Art series, so many local artists are mustering the courage to step out. They are showing their art in galleries, at our markets and exhibits, at our Songwriters’ DSAL Art Lounge tent. And then… something magical happens.
The Magical Moment
The artists are able to talk about their art with casual shoppers and art lovers. They get valuable feedback. People rave, ask questions, and purchase their art! It can truly be life changing.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing many of our artists experience this at our Art Markets at the Triangle, at our exhibits at the Chamber of Commerce and Songwriters, and certainly at the unveiling of their Star on Mercer Street. They burst with excitement!
They are often then inspired to go home and create with renewed vigor and imagination. Excited that their art is finding new homes across Dripping and the Hill Country and doesn’t have to just crawl the walls at home, they make more.
And everyone… the artist and the public… benefits from their passion!
