Earlier this year, we had the privilege of hosting Raphael Fonseca 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: What’s it like to work with Raphael Fonseca as your curator? Is it intimidating?
- Video Clip 2: How do you get your work discovered by Raphael Fonseca? Do you need to be in his social ‘clique’? Here he is talking about his research method for finding
artists for the Mercosur Biennial. Instead of relying on word-of-mouth recommendations from his social circle, he uses Google to discover and contact artists worldwide, emphasizing the importance of professional relationships over friendships.
- Video Clip 3: When is a big museum NOT the right path for your art career? He is talking about the
advantages of artist-run spaces compared to larger museums. He highlights the experimental and flexible nature of these spaces, allowing for risky and groundbreaking projects with smaller budgets, and suggests that both types of institutions complement each other.
Anyway, as I said, he is one of the 100 most powerful people in the art world!
Would you
like to meet him?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to Raphael Fonseca’s contact information - as well as the private contact details of 200+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
- When you enroll, you get access to the
full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with Raphael Fonseca. The insights Raphael Fonseca shared will help you know exactly how to approach him so you get a response.
- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Raphael Fonseca 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.
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.
