Last month, we had the privilege of hosting Jennifer Inacio 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 importance of networking for artists and the role of curators in the art world. Emphasizing the significance of actively reaching out, sharing work, and engaging with curators, she highlights how this process can lead to opportunities and exposure, even if not immediately resulting in awards or
exhibitions.
- Video Clip 2: She discusses the distinctions between the criteria used by private collectors and museums when acquiring artwork. Addressing the personal nature of private collections driven by individual preferences, she contrasts it with a museum's focus on preserving a historical and institutional narrative. She discusses the mission of the museum she
works for, emphasizing its commitment to modern contemporary art with a specific focus on Latin American, Latinx, Caribbean, and Black artists.
- Video Clip 3: She is talking about the continuous learning process in curatorial work, particularly when collaborating with commissioned artists. She stresses the importance of curators acting as liaisons,
fostering relationships where mutual challenges lead to artistic growth. Openness to feedback, adaptability during the research phase, and staying connected to the local and broader artistic community are highlighted as key attributes for effective curation.
To summarise: she buys work for the museum and is looking for artists - like you.

- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Jennifer Inacio 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

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.
