  • Using the Art of Story Telling to Connect and Resonate with Hunter Braithwaite
    Today, Ceri is joined by Hunter Braithwaite, an artist, writer, editor, and cultural strategist who is Senior Vice President of Cultural Counsel and has led strategic communications for the Chicago Architecture Biennial, Hyundai Artlab and the Ford Foundation. Hunter shares how to craft powerful narratives that tell your story and engage decision makers and how to use your creativity to connect with others and be an agent for change. The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career? Applications are now open for the next Artist Mastermind Circle—a six-month coaching programme for mid-career artists who are serious about growing their confidence, income, and opportunities. Apply by 21 July at https://cerihand.com/artist-mastermind-circle/ and take the next bold step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Authentic story telling is at the core of being able to gain attention. Tell your story – if you don’t, someone else will and it might not reflect who you really are or what you stand for. Your work and voice can make a difference for others. Don´t feel guilty about being paid. Ask for feedback – it gets you out of your own head. Keep in touch with those who you work for/with. Understand how systems work so you can move through them with clarity, care and agency. BEST MOMENTS “Storytelling isn't just PR or promotion, it's how we shape perception, create resonance and invite people into our worlds” “I live within a story; I am genetically coded to gravitate towards stories as are you.” “It's the individual stories that contribute to a collective change.” “What do you want to change? - you have the power to change it.” “There are multiple art worlds, and the art market is different from the art world.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.hunter-braithwaite.com https://www.instagram.com/hunterbraithwaite https://culturalcounsel.com PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

  • How to Rekindle an Old Artworld Contact (Without Making it Weird)
    Today, Ceri talks about reaching out to someone you haven't spoken to in years. Most artists dread speaking to that curator, collector, collaborator, who once loved their work, got their vision, maybe even worked with them, but who they over time lost touch with to the point where contacting them again feels kind of awkward. Ceri shares 4 simple ways to reach out that cut through all of that awkwardness and really work. Artist Networking Course - If you want the scripts, the tools and the confidence to reach out, network and reconnect, they're all inside Ceri´s Unlock My Art World Network course. There's templates, prompts, message, checklists, even a what to say when it's been 10 plus years guide. Sign up at https://cerihand.com/courses/networking-course-for-artists and start building relationships that get your art seen, shared and bought. It´s an invaluable, yet low-cost, course that pays for itself very quickly. KEY TAKEAWAYS People love to be remembered, so will be pleased to hear from you again. Genuinely reconnect before you try to sell anything. A warm email or DM is always welcome. Simply saying hello at events easily breaks the ice. Don´t overthink things and don´t wait for the perfect moment. BEST MOMENTS "People don't mind being remembered. They mind being forgotten. “People are far more likely to ignore you if you slide in trying to sell yourself than if you show up human, generous and real." "Relationship building is the art around your art. If you want more shows, support and opportunities, you don't need a miracle. You need a message." "You don't need to apologize for time passing. You don't need to over explain. You just need to show up as someone who remembers and values them and has dared to reach out." "The art world is built on brave nudges."

  • Creative Courage, Grit and the Benefits of Sharing Your Process with Chris Do
    In this episode, Ceri is joined by the dynamic Chris Do—designer, entrepreneur, educator, and founder of The Futur. Chris shares his journey from refugee to renowned creative force. He and Ceri discuss the power of inner narratives, building confidence through action, and why you should share your process. If you suffer from imposter syndrome, are unsure of how to grow your creative career, or stuck waiting for permission - this episode is ideal for you. The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career? Applications are now open for the next Artist Mastermind Circle—a six-month coaching programme for mid-career artists who are serious about growing their confidence, income, and opportunities. Apply by 21 July at https://cerihand.com/artist-mastermind-circle/ and take the next bold step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Doubt immobilises you. Remove it by telling yourself you are just going to try, then do it. You don’t need to wait for permission; give it to yourself and take action. Clients aren’t always great at expressing what they want. Spend plenty of time with them asking the right questions. Your uniqueness is your brand. Manufacture your own hype.

We have to be very mindful and intentional about how we communicate with ourselves.” “Your mind is a fertile garden.

  • The 5 Types of Confidence Every Artist Needs (And How to Build Them)
    Today, Ceri talks about something that causes more anxiety than almost anything else in an artist's career - confidence. She demonstrates that confidence is not a single magical personality trait that you either have or you don't, it is actually a toolkit of slightly different skills that any artist can learn. Artists need to develop 5 types of confidence, Ceri explains what they are and how to build each of them. She also provides you with a simple coaching exercise you can use to start doing this immediately. The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career? Applications are now open for the next Artist Mastermind Circle—a six-month coaching programme for mid-career artists who are serious about growing their confidence, income, and opportunities. Apply by 21 July at https://cerihand.com/artist-mastermind-circle/ and take the next bold step. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Artists need to develop 5 core types of confidence. • Creative confidence comes when you trust your ideas and explore new materials and ways of working. • It’s not enough to make the work—you have to talk about it at openings, in applications, to curators, collectors and peers. • Recognising your worth is at the root of building the confidence to ask for the price you want. • Start building networking confidence by taking small steps. • Build the confidence to say no. • Build your confidence toolkit using the coaching exercise Ceri shares. BEST MOMENTS “Confidence isn’t a trait. It’s a toolkit.” “Abandon safe paths, make the “weird” work that excites you but terrifies you.” “Pricing confidence starts by understanding your worth is not determined by what someone else is “willing” to pay.” “Action creates clarity, and clarity builds confidence. You don't need to wait to feel confident before you act.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.
