KEY TAKEAWAYS
Studio visits provide an irreplaceable first-hand experience of art, allowing for a deeper understanding of scale, texture, and context.
Personal connections formed during studio visits lead to stronger relationships and better collaboration in future projects.
Thorough preparation before a studio visit is crucial, including clear communication about intentions and expectations.
Active listening and genuine curiosity during the visit can lead to new ideas, opportunities, and collaborations.
Bringing a thoughtful gift demonstrates respect for the artist's time and work.
Clear articulation of potential projects, including budgets and timelines, helps artists understand opportunities better.
Following up after the visit with a thank you note and any promised information is essential for maintaining positive relationships.
Frequent studio visits contribute to building a supportive art community and can provide mutual benefits for both artists and visitors.

BEST MOMENTS 

"The difference between a great studio visit and a bad one is within our control."

"If you're in the art world, then you'll know that artists are the most important people in it, hands down."

"Nothing beats seeing art up close and personal than in an artist's studio. Seeing the site of origin provides a deeper understanding and fresh perspectives on the artist and their work."

"Clarity is kindness and therefore better preparation for such meetings is kind."

"Time in the studio is invaluable to an artist, so regardless of whether you form a bond by the end of the visit, bringing a gift demonstrates respect."

"Whatever you do, don't stay silent. This is confusing and unsettling and will be perceived as you not liking them or their work."

"By preparing effectively and listening actively, you can make the most out of a studio visit, fostering meaningful dialogue and building a stronger connection with the artist."

"Be mindful of the impact you have on the artist and their practice. Strive to leave a positive impression."
