Time keeps moving, ever forward, ever steady. For artists this means there is no time to wait – opportunities are coming your way every moment of every day. Seize them. Will you land every one you apply for? Absolutely not. Does that mean you shouldn’t try, absolutely not. Rejection is part of the deal, dust off, get up and go for it again. Here are a few to get you started.
Goldrausch Kunstlerinnenprojekt was founded to help counteract the structural discrimination faced by women artists. The course, in their own words, “combines practical tasks with various insights into the art world and the continuous training of presentation techniques and communication strategies. This includes the design of an individual website, studio talks and discussions of artwork. Also part of the curriculum are basic knowledge about self-employment, public relations and project planning, the creation of a catalogue and a group exhibition.” Women of all ages and working across all artistic disciplines are encouraged to apply. For more information, visit the website. Deadline for applications is September 15.
