meet the artist

Greet the maker

Meet the artist is a promotional event where an artist—typically a visual artist, author, or musician—appears in person to interact with fans or potential buyers.

Galleries, bookstores, and retailers host these events to draw crowds and add personal connection to a purchase: There's a meet the artist session at the gallery this Saturday.

The phrase also appears as a social media format where creators share personal facts about themselves alongside a self-portrait or photo.
