Just like when you write a piece of prose or construct an essay, you must consider your audience when you curate an art show! Following our set of curator tips from fineartabout.com, here is the next step as it relates to audience:"The art audience is one of the foremost concerns of the curator.
Kwanyi Pan says, “A curator is not a creator but a facilitator for both the audience and the artists and a messenger who delivers ideas from contemporary society. A good curator needs to understand the audience and to fully communicate with the artists to let their work speak out to the public.”
When she curated a show at Mission Gallery, a government-owned space in Wales, her focus was on
the audience and what they could receive from the exhibition.
Her overriding concern was to allow for audience interaction with the artwork."
You may think to yourself, "Well that's all fine and dandy, but I have no experience in selecting or understanding an audience!"
No problem. Let's analyze these helpful tips, provided by textileartist.org, that detail how 23 different artists select and tailor their work to meet their audience's needs! http://www.textileartist.org/finding-an-audience-for-your-art/
