  1. I would also just like to chime in-- I worked for a non profit artist residency and was on the jury and when we reviewed applicants WE LOOKED AT THEIR WORK FIRST. Their education hardly ever came into play- sure we had artists that went to UCLA, Yale and wherever but we also had phenomenal artists from "lower tier" universities and they were in no way hindered by their education. It boils my blood to see someone speak for the artworld, to look at profiles and deem them worthy of acceptance, or to use this platform as a personal blog to advance their own credibility and career. Be humble, be aware, be open to the idea that the art world is not black and white. For those of you feeling like your education will dictate the rest of your art career- know that there are so many institutions and people out there that will look at your work first.
  2. I couldn't agree more- honestly I've been waiting for someone to say this. There seems to be so much focus on this thread about "heavyweight" galleries and schools which is all fine and good but that is only one aspect of being an artist. I feel that when people focus all their energy on achieving status through either an education or representation they are in part playing into the system that benefits the art market at the expense of the artist. I am encouraged to see artists like San Diego Stone who's work fits beautifully both within and outside the arts. They are confident in their position as an artist and as a member of a greater community and it shows.
