Are you feeling energized now that the new year has begun? Or did you pull lethargy and baggage with you from the year that just ended? Either answer – or something in between – are normal and OK. What matters most is that, no matter how you’re showing up, you are showing up. Being there is what is most important. Putting one foot in front of the other and making moves forward, no matter how incremental. Here are some upcoming deadlines to keep you going.

Praxis Center is built on the idea that art careers can and do succeed. But they take work – a lot of it. We nurture artists every step of the way, from the early days when the art world feels like a closed door, through those first successes, and even as artists reach mid-career and begin looking for change. We gather experts and resources from around the art world to help you understand how to turn your passion into something more. Give Praxis a try today and see how far it can take you.
