My art experience Could you correct my mistakes please? I'd like to share my experience at biennale in Florence comparing to art fair in Saint Petersburg. I was selected for participating in art fair during the open call. I was so happy with that because it was my dream to come there as a participant. This experience was nice but a little bit confusing due to lack of sales on my part. I was so exited to show people my artworks that lack of sales won't inhibit me applying to next year open call. After art fair I had to go to Florence for its biennale where I took part. I had been preparing for it for a year and a half. All time I felt stressed and needed to solve many problems related to my participating. I wanted this event to get over and continue working on my artworks further. At the biennale I had an interesting experience in communicating with people from all over the world and in having a feedback on my artworks. There people were more open with giving theirs opinion,thoughts on my painting. I was touched by that. At the art fair in Russia people were more closed and sometimes narrow-minded. I think they were somehow strucked by my works and just weren't interested so much. It was another kind of art event, where people should have fun and buy art at low price. So I seemed too serious with my art I suppose. The next year it will be another works,another experience,so I'm encouraged. Returning to biennale in Florence I'd like to say that I doubt to come back as a participant, but I surely come to Florence. Furthermore, since that time I have an art collector there and haven't visited many places yet.
