💡Agony Aunt: Career Tip of the Week

Dear Agony Aunt,
I’m thinking of going freelance, any tips for finding clients?

Start with your network, tell everyone from old colleagues to that gallery friend you only DM memes with. Word travels fast in the art world.

Polish your online presence: update LinkedIn, curate your Instagram, and make sure your portfolio says hire me, not help me.

Then get out there, private views, fairs, talks, they’re as much about meeting people as they are about the art.

And remember: freelance life is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay consistent, keep showing up, and the clients will follow.

Yours ever faithfully,
Love, The Girls ✨
