Do you submit your work to art shows? I've been thinking about getting back into it. I used to submit my work upon occassion ...if I found a show that I really thought suited me. Have you had any reasonable success with this? I've done great for local shows but not for those big national and international calls that you see all over the place.
They have so much promise but sometimes I feel like it's just a big ploy to make someone some money really easily. I mean, $35 to $50 to submit 3 pieces of work (or less)? Nevertheless, I'm thinking of getting back to submitting my work but only for the shows that I feel have merit to them. And I want to build up my portfolio a little bit more. Most of the time, I feel like I should be making a specific piece for each show but it would be nice to have a stock to pick items from.
Do you submit your work? What resources do you use to find calls for art? I know about http://www.artdeadlineslist.com/ and http://artdeadlines.com/ and several others-- what do you use?
