My column is dedicated to telling it like it is. I will always give you the best information available to me or the best advice I can. I will be upfront and never hide the truth from you.

The one thing I will not do is you homework. I will try and point you towards the answer or help you find the answers you looking for. Ultimately you will have to find the answer yourself.

advice

I have some art galleries asking me to submit by sending in a CV artist resume but I've only been up at one store. I have a show in July. That'll make 2. I didn't go to visual art school; I went to theatrical art school, so I feel like I don't have enough material to make a resume. Any artists been in a similar situation with suggestions? Thank you.

I am not an artist and I have never made up a CV Resume. Why I am answering you is this.

Someone or some people are interested in your work and are asking for your resume. We all have to start someplace and people in the Art world are always looking for someone new and exciting they can support.

This being said my advice is when someone asks you for a resume you provide one. When someone asks you it means they have an interest in you. This is far different then you offering them a resume when they have not asked for it. Whoever is asking is going to look at your resume in a different light because they asked for it then I you sent one unsolicited.

I will offer some further advice. Never, never turn down a chance to promote yourself. When someone asks for a resume. Be it in the Art World or any other career field put one together and send it to them. You never know what doors that opportunity is going to open so do not pass up that opportunity.
