Earlier this year, we had the privilege of hosting Mr Benschop 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: He is discussing the importance of diverse interpretations and responses to artworks, emphasizing that there isn't a single "right" story behind a piece and that artists appreciate engagement and imaginative responses from viewers.
- Video Clip
2: Who is “qualified” to review art?
- Video Clip 3: How do you get your work reviewed? He is talking about his approach to discovering and exploring art, which involves a mix of recommendations from others, personal interests, and active engagement with artists and exhibitions, including journalistic endeavors such as creating portraits of artistic
scenes in different cities.
TL;DR: Jurriaan Benschop is a writer that could be a good ally as a reviewer and thoughtful pen pal, so to speak.
Would you like to meet him?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to Jurriaan Benschop’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 Jurriaan Benschop. The insights Jurriaan Benschop shared will help you understand his point of view of how
and why some art, some paintings “work” and you will also see how to engage him in a conversation.
- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Jurriaan Benschop 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? Mentoring. 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 how to conduct a studio visit to pricing to reaching galleries and getting 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.
Which is why I offer a money back guarantee if you are not happy.
Join the VIP Edition of Praxis Center Membership (Monthly $59/m | Annual $595/yr) and unlock a truly international circle of art world insiders who can propel your career!

PS: In the coming week, I'll be sending you quite a few emails
about getting your art into collections and Praxis membership. If you don't want to hear about it, you can click here. I'll opt you out from the Collectors email series, but you'll still get my other emails.
