It’s always good to expose your talent to the rest of the world.  It can be brutal and blissful. But if your not out there in social media or public displays or even festival events you will never know how the public interrupts your creativity.  When you are trying to make either a personal statement with your work or a general appeal, it is always good to understand your audience.  Without the feed back you might never grow, you might never comprehend what impact you might have with your work, and you may even get better, more personable, and have a book written about you and your work.
