Artists Shouldn’t Network

Most artists are told to network if they ever want to “make it.” But what if that advice is quietly killing the art world? In this video, I break down why networking culture is destroying genuine artistry—how it replaces human connection with self-promotion, turns passion into performance, and leaves artists chasing clout instead of meaning. We’ll explore the difference between building a network vs. building a community, why the business mindset doesn’t belong in the creative world, and how to find real connection again through authenticity, slowness, and shared obsession.
