Would you like to meet Jenny Moore? She's a director and curator who runs a huge exhibition space in Bozeman, Montana
Published: Fri, 12/22/23
I call her a mover and shaker because she is always looking for artists that are doing something exciting.
“Exciting” to her means artists that are working with what she calls “endangered forms of knowledge” which in turn means something that needs to be shared, like a lost language, lost stories.
Earlier this year, we had the privilege of hosting Jenny Moore at a Praxis Roundtable -- a weekly Zoom call where Praxis students meet and interact with influential collectors, curators and gallerists
Here are some highlights from that Roundtable:
- Video Clip 1: She is talking about the challenge of preserving indigenous culture and knowledge, emphasizing the importance of recognizing that knowledge takes various forms. She mentions an example from Janati, where they trained women in traditional Adobe making techniques, preserving not only buildings but also knowledge and skills.
- Video Clip 2: She is talking about her approach to engaging with artists and advises against placing excessive demands on them, like writing elaborate proposals. She values the opportunity to see an artist's work as an introduction and encourages artists not to give up hope, even if it takes time for opportunities to align.
- Video Clip 3: She is talking about the role of institutions and their responsibility to the community. She has chosen to work in artist-centered spaces that prioritize serving artists and fostering new ideas. Her focus is on helping artists do their work on their terms and contribute to the evolution of the art world.
Reach out to her because she says she doesn’t want a professional letter from you, she wants to see your art! If you have a proposal she is also interested, but she likes to look at art - yours.
Would you like to meet her?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to Jenny Moore’s contact information - as well as the private contact details of 195+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
- When you enroll, you get access to the full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with Jenny Moore. The insights Moore shared will help you to connect with her in a meaningful way so your art has a chance of getting her attention for exhibit or residency.
- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Jenny Moore every single week, live, at our Praxis Roundtable, which is a Zoom call with a different collector or curator each week…
- 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? Mentorship. 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.
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.
Which is why I offer a money back guarantee if you are not happy.
