$5m sculpture commission (details inside 👇)
Published: Fri, 05/26/23
November Paynter is now the chief curator developing an outdoor sculpture park in Toronto and is currently looking for artists to create sculpture for a massive new sculpture project that is a federal project. It will open in 2026.Â
Toronto has received a $25m donation to create an outdoor public art trail along its waterfront – the largest art donation in the city’s history. She is commissioning and funding projects for the park.Â
15 artists in all initially and they are looking for international as well as local artists.. Â
On April 21st, November Paynter spoke at a recent Praxis Roundtable  -- a weekly Zoom call where Praxis students meet and interact with influential collectors, curators and gallerists.Â
Here are some highlights from that Roundtable:
- Video Clip 1: November explains how to get a Zoom studio visit from her.Â
 - Video Clip 2: November explains how she works with artists and what she likes to see.
 - Video Clip 3: Explains what she expects to happen on the new Art Trail project and how the work must be interactive and not as precious as in a museum.Â
All right, on to the fun stuff:
November is looking for artists and two artists who will each get a 5 million dollar (canadian dollars) budget for their work! The other 13 artist will also get a large budget.
Would you like to meet her?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to November’s contact information - as well as the private contact details of 160+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
 - When you enroll, you get access to the full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with November. The insights she shared will show you how to pitch your idea so you can be ahead of the other artists reaching out to her. One Hint: she likes artists that are thinking about architecture.Â
 - In addition, as a Praxis member you’ll meet a new art world insider like November every single week, live, at our Praxis Roundtable, which is a Zoom call with a different collector or curator each week…Â
 - You’ll get my assistance to effectively reach out to the movers and shakers you meet at these Roundtables. I’ll give you two letter templates you can use, so that you don’t have to worry about what to say and will have a better chance of getting a response back.
 - Best part? You can ask me to personally edit these emails and letters before you send them out to make sure that they are compelling and you don’t get ghosted.
Plus: you also get personal access to me, Brainard Carey, and a suite of educational guides on topics ranging from grant writing to studio visits and feedback on your art.
That said, I’m willing to bet that if you ONLY showed up for the weekly Praxis Roundtables over Zoom and met the collectors, curators and dealers that are there, without doing ANYTHING else, you will at the very least 3X your investment right away.Â
Which is why I offer a money back guarantee if you are not happy.
