accessible to everyone all the time (including you), that there's plenty of room for all points of view and all art to coexist, and plenty of potential interest in your art as well-- assuming you're willing to put the effort into nurturing it. The influence or authority of any single individual only extends as far as their audience and furthermore, that influence is becoming progressively more marginalized when compared to the ever-expanding number of available options not only for artists to call attention to their art, but also for getting it out there in front of the public.
In the end though, while comments and critiques from others are certainly worth contemplating and at times even acting on, at some point you have to set them all aside. Remember way back at the beginning of this article when I said the real question you should be asking is what YOU think of your art rather than what other people think? If you happen to be one of those many artists who are guilty of looking to others for acknowledgement or approval rather than looking to yourself, then perhaps change up your agenda a tad, get introspective and occasionally reflect on why you find this quest for external acceptance so necessary. Your art is ultimately all about you and your belief in what you're doing regardless of what anyone else has to say. You can't ignore the importance of other people's observations and input in terms of understanding the overall impact, effect and appeal of your work, but after everyone's had their say, your dedication, desire, commitment and relentless determination to act on your inspirations are all that really count.
