Your insight is important.

Your artistic story is your own and we want to learn more about you to identify ways to uncover obstacles and be a resource for your success as a participating artist with Juniper Rag’s

COMMUNITY, CALLS FOR ART, our ART MARKET or our ARTIST DIRECTORY.

Help guide our 2025 goals.

When artists are actively trying to reach new goals, thoughtful questions can help uncover the obstacles and challenges they face.

These questions can be an exercise for you as well as for us to uncover gaps in strategy, focus, or resources, and help you pinpoint areas to adjust or improve so that you can reach your business goals. We want to hear about your experience out there and with us.

One area we like to understand is how you fit into the landscape of artists you are surrounded by in your own community. Do you feel truly connected to the art community in your region, where does your art fit in? Are you connected through groups or collectives? Learning this info is key to the development strategies to help artist become more successful outside of their communities and in our digisphere world of Juniper Rag. We are active locally, but we focus on a world-wide reach and our digital presence helps people reach outside their general markets, near and far.

We believe a collaborative and empathetic approach for sensitive discussions is key to encouraging honest reflection and actionable results. Your information is confidential + considered sacred with us. We’ve got you.

Your input matters.

Learning about goals and challenges of artists and identifying pathways to success— is essentially the reason why we founded Juniper Rag.

We believe that the work we do benefits artists and exposes more people to the arts. We believe that art can change lives, people and bring valuable improvements to cities.

Thank you for being a part of that journey with us. These questions are optional and help give us insight into challenges that you and many other artists face. Answers are confidential.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE JUNIPER RAG TO IMPROVE UPON?

We try really hard to foresee ways we can help artists sell more art. We love collaborations and partnering with local non-profits and corporate stakeholders that can create opportunities to bring art into new spaces. We identify you as an advocate for the arts and would be honored by any referrals you may offer to work with organizations to promote art and artists.
