Robert John Cook's Art Show #7

Thanks for listening to this week's show. And thanks for the wonderful feedback and constant support.  You guys are great!

I have been witnessing many young people joining the ranks of listeners lately, so this week I have tried to concentrate on their view as they enter the art world.  For example, art guilds and art associations are not all the same, so how do you determine which one is right for you and your type of art. Are the members hobbyists or professionals? Or is the guild or association for a much older crowd that use it as simply a social click? Do they all follow 'art rules' and paint basically the same thing? And how do you determine if membership is congruent with your art objectives. Powerful questions when you consider that the answers can either nurture or hinder a young artist's creativity.

Hope you enjoy! www.RobertJohnCook.wordpress.com
