Earlier this summer, we had the privilege of hosting Aaron Harbour 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: How best to engage with contemporary art and provide respectful, constructive feedback in critique sessions? How exactly does it benefit you in the long run to care about the current art world and other artists’ work as much as your own practice? Or as he puts it: “If you don’t care about contemporary art, why should contemporary art care about you?”
- Video Clip 2: He is discussing the value of participation and interest in the art world as essential for artists and curators. He highlights how starting small, such as curating exhibitions in unconventional venues and reaching out to well-known artists, can lead to meaningful interactions and opportunities, stressing the importance of giving back to the community.
- Video Clip 3: An insider look at strategies artists can use to align their work with appropriate galleries and exhibitions. He advises attending shows, understanding the context of one’s art, and being realistic about where it fits. He also emphasizes the importance of context in showcasing art, selecting work thoughtfully, and giving it the space it deserves in exhibitions.
To summarise: he is in a position to give you visibility and shows and sales.
Would you like to meet him?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to Aaron Harbour’s
contact information - as well as the private contact details of 240+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
- When you enroll, you get access to the full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with Aaron Harbour. The insights Aaron Harbour shared will help you know what to say in a letter and presentation to him. In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Aaron Harbour 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 social media tactics to time management 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.
