According to curator and artist Rhonda Schaller post from her blog achieves, she suggests that it’s time to step away from your studio. And I couldn’t agree with her more.
Get out of your studio and into the world
There are several things you can do during your studio intermission. How about…- Organize an exhibition at your local library
- Write reviews for a blog - preferably ArtsOfCultures.Blogspot.com
- Intern for an art handler in a gallery
- Work for a museum in any department
- Work for a gallery and serve wine at the openings
- Teach an after-school class in art
- Join an artist support or crit group, start an artist crit or support group
- Go to artist salons
- Attend panel discussions and lectures - (see Basquiat Stripped)
- And my ultimate favorite thing to do…go to openings!
I hope you do realize that doing any of one of these things from the list will give you the opportunity to meet people, and see what is going on in the “ art scene” that you want to be a part of.
Schaller said she met some of her best curatorial contacts while she was a security guard at MoMA when she first got out of art school.
