Here’s how an Artist Turned One Exhibition Into Two

Art, in large part, is about network. One door opens the next which opens the next, and so on. Sometimes what seems like a modest opportunity can turn into the first step on a much larger journey. Exhibiting your work is the very best way to create new opportunity for yourself. Praxis student Gregory found this out not long ago and its a lesson that is continuing to pay dividends. In his own words:

Hello Brainard Carey and other amazing Praxis people, I just wanted to say thank you for the video on approaching Nonprofit Organizations. At the beginning of the year, I got the opportunity to show my work in a Nonprofit Theatre company in a local town near me. Now the county library saw my work and wants my work to be displayed in the library. It’s amazing how taking a risk and showing your work for a nonprofit can lead to other venues. Now I am donating an art piece for Theatre Company’s silent fundraising auction. So excited about the opportunity that is out there. I hope this inspires others to approach local nonprofits to show your work. Thank you so much Brainard Carey.
