Dear Artist,
Let’s pause for a moment.
You’ve read several emails from me this week. Hopefully, they’ve offered you insight—not pressure. Because this is not about pushing artists into a program. It’s about opening a door that doesn’t stay open forever.
Tomorrow, that door begins to close.
I’ll be emailing you three times on Saturday. I don’t usually do that (and I won’t again for a long time), but here’s why:
- In the morning, I’ll share a real example of a curator session from Praxis—what it looked like, who showed up, and what artists actually learned.
- In the afternoon, I’ll tell you the story of a Praxis member who used one of our courses to land a $35,000 grant. Not because she was lucky, but because she
followed a system.
- In the evening, I’ll send one last invitation to join before the annual rate doubles from $595 to $1,200.
If you’ve already decided Praxis isn’t for you—no harm, no hard feelings.
But if you’re still thinking about it, tomorrow is important.
Here’s the real thing I want to share today:
The path forward for artists is changing, but it’s not chaotic. It’s navigable. What it requires is intention—and sometimes, a bit of scaffolding. Praxis is that scaffolding.
It’s not a course platform. It’s not a coaching funnel. It’s not a passive learning library. It’s a living system made for serious artists to grow careers—quietly, steadily, and with a community of people who
get it.
Our weekly sessions with curators are unlike anything you’ll find online. These are working professionals, not influencers. They’ve curated major biennials, run museums, managed alternative spaces. And they show up to Praxis to talk directly to artists, because they trust this space.
Our members don’t show up to be “taught.” They show up to build.
And that’s what tomorrow is about—one final day to decide whether you want to be part of this.
Again, if you’ve already decided, thank you for reading this far. I appreciate it deeply. But if you’ve been sitting with the idea—maybe saving the link, maybe waiting for the right time—this is your cue.
→ Join today before the last-day rush
You’ll lock in the current $595/year rate and get full access:
- All live weekly curator sessions
- Full course library (including new and updated modules)
- Access to Praxis staff and member
community
- Inclusion in the Praxis Center Portfolio (annual members only)
You can also join monthly at $120/month, or now at $59 a month, but that doesn’t include the Portfolio. Which, as you’ll see tomorrow, can be the difference between being seen and just posting into the void.
Thank you again for staying with me this week. Whether or not we meet inside
Praxis, I want you to know this:
Your work matters. Your voice matters. The future of the art world isn’t something that happens to artists—it’s something we shape, together.
Warmly,
Brainard Carey
Praxis Center for Aesthetic Studies
P.S. Set a reminder if you’d
like. The emails tomorrow are short, sharp, and worth reading. If nothing else, they’ll give you a view inside the world we’re building.
