- Most feedback comes from gallery critiques or mentor meetings
- Galleries are short and often more social
- Mentor meetings give a limited perspective
- The artistic process is very personal and some artists are hesitant to over-share
- You want to gauge the emotional response, but it's hard to measure

- The process involves many drafts and versions, and you sometimes want to show all of the stages in case you lost something along the way
