Back in 2011, I embarked on an adventure that forever changed my art career. Picture this: being the very first artist to join Larry Poncho Brown's Creative Quarantine. Yes, **the** Larry Poncho Brown, the legendary African American artist from Baltimore, Maryland. This one-day artistic retreat was a whirlwind of creativity, laughter, and invaluable business insights that I still cherish today.
Creative Quarantine: A Day of Artistic Magic
Larry Poncho Brown's Creative Quarantine wasn't just about being alone with your thoughts and paintbrush; it was a magical day of artistic enlightenment. Under Poncho's guidance, I learned the ropes of being an artistic entrepreneur. We delved into the art of working with galleries, impressing clients, and the all-important task of valuing and managing my artwork. It was like art school, business school, and a paint party all rolled into one fabulous day!
Business Wisdom with a Splash of Paint
Poncho's wisdom flowed like paint on a canvas. He shared his secret sauce for running a successful art practice, from keeping a well-organized inventory to pricing artworks just right. We talked about everything from negotiating deals to ensuring each piece of art wasn't just beautiful but also a reflection of its true market value. I was soaking it all in like a sponge, and it felt amazing.
The Magic of Collaboration
The highlight of the day? Our painting session together! Imagine this: two artists, side by side, creating magic on canvas. In a moment of inspiration, I handed Poncho one of my unfinished pieces. He took it, added his magical touch, and together, we transformed it into something extraordinary. This collaborative masterpiece was more than just a painting; it was a symbol of our creative synergy and shared vision.
