Articulate and refine proposals and artist statements
Develop a studio journal writing habit
Research and discuss readings and essays on art, artists, art theory and criticism
Expand through grounding assignments, challenges, and topical conversation
Share links to podcasts, virtual shows, related YouTube videos
Connect with opportunities and new networks
Thrive in a community of invested peer inspiration and support
Please read through the following list of requirements before registering.
Artists should have a consistent body of work, a working professional website, and access to a laptop or desktop computer (no iPads or iPhones).
