Hello to all of you, amazing people!
I have to tell you a good thing that happened to me! I’m not sure where to talk about it, so I’m writing it here in the “Artist’s Cafe”.I’ve always been a bit scared of being among artists and doing networking, because I’m always thinking that my works are not enough good to be seen by other artists, because I’m working hard on my rebranding and I kind of have the feeling I would like to erase everything I did before, to make room for new stuff I’m working on. I decided to not doing this, at least for now. So I focused on something else, I challenged myself doing something constructive for my business and for my (he)art!
Crista and other colleagues of mine told me thousands times to go to places, to meet people, to do networking. Finally I’m doing it and I’ve found out I’m actually good at it.
I was so unhappy last year because I was sure that here in Rome (where I live and work) It could not be possible to find cool places in which art is all around, young and emerging and talented artists share their experiences and stuff like this…I was sure about it. Well…I was WRONG. I’ve found a place that is international, it’s a cafe for artists and also a gallery. It is full of inspiring people, designers, architect, photographers. This place is everything I’ve always dreamed about and even more. They have contacts with collectors all around the world and they like my works!
Every night after work I’m going there. Even if it is not a party night. And even if it is very far from home.Never never never stop searching for what you need and like! And never think that you are tired and you’re out of energies!

Thank you so much for sharing this, inspiring stuff! I think it is so great you have a new found confidence in networking and you have found a place where you feel so at home – not always so easy to come by! What is the cafe called? If I am ever in Rome I would love to drop by!

Thank you Cloe – I relate to what you say. There can seem to be a lot of judgement in the art world or maybe sometimes we just judge ourselves too harshly – but I too have found I stepped back from it for a while as I didn’t somehow fit a particular group. It has done me good in some ways as I feel more confident to just be who I am, but now I am taking the next step and launching into the network again and trying just to apppreciate everyone for who they are and to learn and share at my own pace.
I am glad you have found a group where you live and work.
Looking forward to connecting here in this supportive environment!

Hello Lily,
Thank you very much! The Artist’s Cafe is called The Wolfftree, but they are closed now and waiting to relocate in a different Rome Zone. I hope they will reopen very soon. By the way the owner and I we are still in contact, so I will keep you updated. If you will ever be in Rome, please, let me know I will love to show you some good place around the city and to have a coffee.
