2. Excel at your subgroup within your community.
3. If success in art only means the big-leagues to you (by that I mean high paying snoots of society want your art), good luck.
I would claim currently that the World Wide Web is one of the best ways to learn about upcoming artists and to find new artists. The internet and media is the current way for new art to catch fire in the public, especially when art collectors and other big players in the industry stumble upon a work they think is interesting. After reading the NY Times post about Stefan Simchowitz's impact on contemporary art and exactly how he does it, I noted that in order to become a well-known artist in the big-leagues, you probably either have to:
After I read the NYT article, I followed Simchowitz on instagram to see who exactly he has been posting about regularly. I also thoroughly stalked one of the featured rising artists, Petra Cortright, as well as past artists of interest, like Kour Pour. Simchowitz is an art collector that essentially finds artists trying to sell their work, and ramps them up, selling their art for high prices at auctions and keeps/drops them depending on how their individual sales go at the auctions. Now don't get me wrong, the artists he finds are very interesting and uncommon in their art, which is exactly what he wants / exactly what you should do if you wanna go big. You're as edgy as it gets! And if Simchowitz finds you, or someone of his type, stay keen.
Success: If I'm happy and healthy, and surviving, and at a peace of mind and heart, I am successful.

Where does one find the quiz? (And I agree with poop-flavored chocolate. At least you still know it is chocolate.)
