How Are You Holding Up?

During a time such as this, priorities can begin to shift. What was once a productive lifestyle is subject to the inertia of continued lock down. There is absolutely nothing wrong with slowing down during this time, giving yourself permission to be less productive or not at all productive. But as an artist with a career in your hands, you must consider the path forward. Make every effort to continue to see a way forward – seek out and pursue opportunities for now and opportunities for later.

The Science Gallery invites artists to submit work to their current open call. In their own words: “Science Gallery Bengaluru seeks interactive, participatory works for CONTAGION, an exhibition that explores the phenomenon of the transmission of emotions, behaviours, and diseases. Keywords : Ripple Effect, Social Contagion, Quarantine, Group Behaviors, Networks, Infectious.” For more information, visit the website. Deadline is May 30.

Envision Arts invites artists to submit work to their open call for Artist of the Month.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has extended the deadline for their call for applications to the International Fund for Cultural Diversity.

Praxis Center is here. We support artists in their endeavors with expert advice, peer support and a vibrant community of mutual understanding and ambition. During this time our artists have been connecting virtually through our weekly round table discussions as well as enjoying webinars from experts in various fields and polishing their professional documents such as artist biographies and statements. We offer a nurturing environment to help you and your career grow. See you in the virtual classroom.
