This is part one of a two-part series (for now!) about art submissions. If you want to make a living from your art, you're going to have to get it out there into the world and get as many of the right eyes on it as possible. You might be lucky enough to have someone find you on Instagram, but most likely, you're going to have to do the work yourself. In this episode, Laura and Nikki bring up five questions that need to be addressed to help you submit your art.  Why should you submit your work? Where should you submit it and which markets exist? How do you find who to submit your work to? What should you submit to them once you found them? When should you send that and follow up with them? In part one, they discuss the why and where. Tune in next week to learn the how, what and when for getting your art out there into the world!
