MFA dream

New York City NY

Description

I am a 40 years old multidisciplinary artist. I've tried twice and was not accepted into an MFA program. The second time I was waitlisted, so the rejection letter was extra painful for me. I feel depleted. Empty balloon. I feel that I was rejected from a clique I really wanted to be a part of. I continue drawing because It's therapeutic for me but all my grand ideas, experimental work, collaborations with other artists - all that I am no longer excited about. and that is a feeling I've never felt. So badly did I crave the structure, the critique, the opportunities, and the tools I will not be a part of. How do I dust myself off and continue? - Sad artist
