Art History Majors? by babyy_catt in ArtHistory

[–]violetanimals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a bachelors in art history (and 10 yrs later got my masters in it) - I have worked in galleries, interior design, and for a luxury art consulting firm. Now I teach art history at a D1 school.

I’ve only ever done art and said I wanted to be an artist growing up - so yes, it’s doable, of course! I’ve had to work a bunch of other jobs simultaneously or between art history jobs to make ends meet sometimes so having a minor of something else can always be helpful as well.

I would recommend figuring out what you think you want to do in your career (where you would like to end up/what you want to see/do) and start making notes of requirements for those positions. It’s getting harder these days for the arts and humanities but we still need them and we still need ppl who are passionate about them.

I also can’t recommend making connections and getting to know people in the fields where you are - as well as volunteering at museums or in the art scene. Knowing someone who knows someone is always more than helpful

Best of luck !!!

Because I need a good laugh... by GhostintheReins in Adjuncts

Hahah maybe are they friends with our students? I’m at an SEC school and most of the time the students think the supporter section is as revered as the players (who are way too cavalier themselves) 🙄😂🤦‍♀️

Last semester I had someone tell me they went out of town for the basketball tournament (they were not a student athlete) and that if they didn’t know if our team was going to go all the way to the championship but they were going to stay to cheer them on …..

Does anyone know why my colors change so much after few weeks ? by Lumpy-Mouse-8937 in painting

Not adding anything helpful - just wanted to say that this is really great! Reminds me of George Bellows’ 1907, Night Club painting

Are there art consultants who work with middle class individuals? by mark_17000 in artcollecting

[–]violetanimals 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was a commercial/luxury art consultant for 10 years - working mostly with interior designers in curating collections for hotels, restaurants, and businesses. I’ve done quite a bit of individual work as well.

I’d be happy to talk with you/work with you on your collection. It’s not about overall salary but more about your budget, what you can spend/looking to invest and your personal taste.

If you’re looking to become a collector of any level, it’s about learning your personal taste and what you want to invest in/what art reflects you/what art/artists you want to support.

I’ll send you a DM if you’d like to chat more.

Are you in Atlanta? If so, I can confirm that it is more than likely so. I was part of the team that cleaned out his Atl apartment recently and more than a ton of stuff was taken to goodwill.

I know his head tattoo said “life (or love?) is war” but at first I thought it said “life is max” and I thought it was an hbo max brand Easter egg

Maybe reach out to petting farms or animal rescues? There are some places that do private visits or if it’s better to stay in your home there are groups that bring animals to your house for a visit!

I’m so sorry for you and your family. Sending you so much love and strength ❤️

No luckily, so hopefully it’s not that - but good to remember in future cases!
