First time considering entering your art in a show? Watch this!

David Kempton, founding co-director of NFAPE, and also founding co-director of the Newmarket Juried Art Show (NJAS), talks about his personal experience of meeting artists who have shown for their very first time. He talks about the thrill they feel – that gobsmacked “Wow – that’s my work on the wall beside some fabulous artists!”

Thinking of entering your first show? Have a look at the video, get inspired, and be brave – it’s worth it.

(And by the way – it’s not just first timers who feel this thrill!)

Are you an artist, photographer? Dass speaks!

When Dass asks these questions of audiences, the responses are fascinating. Have a look!
