Why nobody came to your art show (271)

You worked hard to get your art on those walls. So when only a handful of people show up to the opening, it stings.

In this episode, Alyson Stanfield looks at the most common reasons your supporters stayed home — and what you can do differently before your next show.

In this episode:

  • Why the 5-10 days before a show are too late to fix most attendance problems
  • How a cold list can cost you the people most likely to show up
  • Why you can't rely on the venue to bring people to your exhibition
  • Why one or two social media posts won't cut it
  • The power of a personal invitation and letting people know why the show matters to you
  • Why sending one email isn't enough, and why your supporters will thank you for the reminder
