Facebook Live Group Art Shows with Brooke Harker (#62)

Fun isn't a word used very often when we think of marketing or
business tasks. Still, it's one of the criteria I suggest
considering when you're thinking about whether to add something to
your busy schedule.

When lockdown started, Brooke Harker threw her fears about doing
live video out the window and created Saturday Night Live Art
Shows—because she thought it would be fun. It started with just
her, but quickly grew to a core of regular artists, with new ones
added each week.


I wanted to talk with her about it because these weekly events
are open to any artist who wants to show off their art or,
perhaps, the art that you collect. In fact, as you'll learn, the
rules are, well, ... What rules? This could be a great way for
you to connect, practice your video (because imperfections are
encouraged), and maybe even sell some art.


Brooke Harker is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles,
California. Her lively paintings of cities and coastal scenes are
characterized by energetic brushstrokes in ink and thick oil
paint applied with palette knives. These vibrant depictions of
daily life capture a sense of motion and highlight moments of
synchronicity.


Harker calls herself a historian of the ordinary. Her paintings
are a collaboration with all of the people who’ve contributed to
a place over time: architects, engineers, city workers who’ve
placed street signs and pedestrians whose colorful fashion landed
in view at the perfect moment. All of their individual actions
brought together one moment, fated to be captured on canvas.
