Let’s Talk Brass Tacks

Let’s talk about opportunities. As you may or may not know, Praxis Center maintains a curated page of artist opportunities. While we try to highlight those that are free of charge, sometimes small fees may apply. You can use this resources page to locate grants, residencies, open calls, and more. Think of it as a way to put to use all those skills you’re building all the time as you work your way through the Praxis courses.
