In the Making Degree Show

In the making

The Ultimate Student degree show,

We are so excited to announce our first visual art event in a new venue, and what better way to celebrate, than with our Island's visual art future and supporting in ways that no others seem to be able to allow themselves too!

Can you imagine the trails and tribulations of learning and developing during a pandemic, along with the usual self doubt of choosing an art career?

Some of the attributes you have to be overcome to choose to become an artist.......

'You must root out any ideas or thoughts that will keep you from assuming full responsibility for your career decisions.

You must commit to eliminate any negative self-talk that prevents you from taking all the actions needed to build relationships and to live up to your art career responsibilities.

You no longer subscribe to any stereotypes or myths about artists. You slough off negative attitudes, like “You can’t make a living as an artist.” or, “Get a real job skill to ‘fall back on’.” These common sayings were probably intended to keep us from harm, but are deadly if you allow them to persist and to control your behaviour.'

The students would like to thank you all for your support so far, and so would we @islecontemporary - we look forward to seeing you soon!
