Nurturing an art career is not easy, but it is certainly possible if you know where to look for resources. As the year begins to wind down and we all look back on our
accomplishments – or even on those things that may not have panned out but have lessons to teach us all the same – what might you do differently? What might you do the same, for that matter? As you begin to plan the coming months and next year, here are a few opportunities to motivate your continued journey.
These are positive and / or negative reviews of galleries, art fairs, consultants, writers, online pay to play
offers, residencies and more – all written by artists so that other artists can beware of situations where institutions treat artists badly, or that end up costing the artist money or are outright scams.
