In February, we had the privilege of hosting Sharon Lerner 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 discusses how the museum selects artists, explaining that while they receive many proposals, only some fit their collections. They also actively seek artists whose work aligns with their existing collections.
- Video Clip 2: She talks about the challenges museums face, particularly financial constraints and political pressures. She mentions that while the museum is economically independent, it operates in a public building, making it vulnerable to government scrutiny and potential policy changes.
- Video Clip
3: She explains how artists, regardless of their approach, can benefit from engaging with museum collections. Even artists without a research-based practice can gain valuable insights into materials, techniques, and conservation, and other things that you don’t see in your own studio.
TLDNR: Sharon Lerner explains how to interact and get the attention of her museum or any other
museum.
Would you like to meet her?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to Sharon Lerner’s contact information - as well as the private contact details
of 260+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
- When you enroll, you get access to the full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with Sharon Lerner. The insights Sharon Lerner shared will help you understand what museums are looking for in an artist like you.
- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Sharon Lerner every single week, live, at our Praxis Roundtable, which is a Zoom call
with a different collector or curator each week…
- 🔥NEW | Portfolio Sharing Service (Annual Members Only) 👉 We send your portfolio to curators before they even meet you. They’ve seen your work. They know your name. It’s like walking into a gallery where everyone already knows who you are.
- 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 grants 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.

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.
