What makes SPRING/BREAK Art Show so different from every other art fair?

In this episode, Marina Granger sits down with SPRING/BREAK Art Show founders Andrew Gori and Ambre Kelly to talk about how the fair began, why they created a model that gives artists more agency, and why SPRING/BREAK can be such a win-win for both artists and collectors.

They also talk about what it means to build an art fair while being creatives themselves. Ambre is an artist, Andrew is a filmmaker, and together they share how they stay efficient, keep creating, and navigate one of the hardest parts of being a creative today: comparison and jealousy in the age of social media.

In this episode:

→ How SPRING/BREAK Art Show started
→ What makes it different from traditional art fairs
→ How its model benefits both artists and collectors
→ How to be more efficient as a creative
→ How to deal with jealousy and comparison
→ What Andrew and Ambre have learned from building the fair over the years

SPRING/BREAK Art Show is on view September 23–28.

What do you do when galleries are following you, visiting your studio, complimenting your work…and then nothing happens?

In this episode of The MFA Podcast, I answer a question from an artist who feels like she's doing everything right—but gallery interest hasn't turned into exhibitions, representation, or sales yet.

I break down the two things I think are often missing: the practical follow-up and the inner micro-actions that shape how you build relationships in the art world.

We talk about:

→ The simple email you can send when you finish a new artwork you think a gallery—or collector—will connect with

→ Why you don't always need to wait for someone else to make the next move

→ How your Reticular Activating System (RAS) can influence the opportunities, signals, and possibilities you notice

→ The tiny unconscious behaviors that can either move a relationship forward or keep you waiting

→ Why networking becomes much easier when you stop thinking of it as "networking" and start thinking about making friends in your industry around shared interests

And I share why real-world immersion can change the way you understand—and connect with—the art world.
