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.

Art fairs aren't just places to see art — they can help you understand where you fit in the art world.

In this episode, I share how artists can use art fairs as a form of market research: to identify the galleries that align with their work, understand how similar artists are positioned, compare pricing, and get a clearer sense of where their work belongs in the contemporary art market.

If you've ever wondered which galleries are right for you, how to price your artwork, or how to navigate art fairs more strategically, this episode will help you look at them through a completely different lens.

If you've ever looked at another artist's career and thought, "Why is it happening for them and not for me?"—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between fault-seeking and miracle-seeking, and how the evidence you train yourself to notice can shape the way you experience your art career.

When you're constantly looking for what isn't working—the unanswered email, the gallery that hasn't called, the post that didn't perform—it becomes very easy to believe nothing is happening.

But what changes when you start noticing the evidence that things are moving?

We'll explore how this mindset shift can help you stay resilient, recognize momentum, and keep showing up for your career even when the bigger results haven't arrived yet.

If you're building an art career and finding yourself caught in comparison, frustration, or wondering when it will finally be your turn, tune in.

One of the biggest misconceptions artists have is this:

"They asked for the price... and then disappeared. I guess they couldn't afford it."

But after years working as a Gallery Director, I've learned that price is often not the real reason.

More often, collectors simply haven't experienced enough value before they receive the number.

Value comes first.

Price comes second.

In this episode, I'm sharing five ways to increase the perceived value of your artwork so collectors feel more connected, more confident, and more excited to invest in your work.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

✨ Why not showing your "best work last" may actually be costing you sales.

✨ How luxury brands present products—and what artists can learn from them.

✨ Why showing less artwork can create more demand.

✨ How your artist story and elevator pitch help collectors emotionally connect with your work.

✨ The surprising role your nervous system plays in pricing artwork with confidence.

✨ Exactly how to respond when someone asks for the price of your artwork (without accidentally talking them out of buying).

The way you present your work communicates just as much as the work itself.

When collectors understand why your artwork matters—and when your presentation matches its value—pricing becomes a much easier conversation.

When you're overwhelmed, everything can start to feel urgent.

You have too many ideas, too many unfinished projects, too many things you think you should be doing—and instead of moving forward, you freeze.

But overwhelm is not just a productivity problem. It affects the energy you bring into your studio, your decisions, your visibility, and the way you build your art career.

In this episode, I'm sharing practical tools to help you move out of overwhelm and into overflow.

Overflow is the state where you feel creatively connected, supported, clear, and resourced. It is where you can create from inspiration rather than pressure—and take meaningful action toward the work and art career you truly want.

You do not have to force yourself into your next chapter.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is create enough internal space to hear what your next step actually is.
