In September, we had the privilege of hosting Cora Fisher 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 her role as a contemporary art curator, where she manages adult programming and exhibitions, but also organizes youth exhibitions. This includes working with prominent illustrators who engage with youth through their book projects and sculptures. She highlights the popularity and vibrant presence of illustrators like Isabel Rojas, who interact with the community through these
programs.
- Video Clip 2: How do you get your work into a library so that it can be seen by a huge number of people daily? She is talking about the logistics of pitching workshops to the Brooklyn Public Library, noting the importance of specifying the audience, age group, and the number of participants. She explains that, with 62 branches, the
library offers thousands of programs annually, often organized by local librarians, and emphasizes that workshops can be held in various neighborhoods and communities.
- Video Clip 3: How to leverage libraries as your way into the rest of the art world like major galleries and museums? She discusses the value of civic and municipal libraries as
unique spaces for exhibitions, especially for artists looking to build their portfolios. She highlights their role in providing valuable art experiences to the public and reflects on a pandemic-era project, “Art and Society Census,” which explored how art can be experienced outside traditional spaces. Libraries are often underappreciated but crucial as meeting places for artists and community engagement.
Long story short?
Cora Fisher is the person to know and understand if you want your art hung in this powerful and historic and centrally located venue.
Would you like to meet her?
As a Praxis member, you can!

- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art
world insider like Cora Fisher every single week, live, at our Praxis Roundtable, which is a Zoom call with a different collector or curator each week…
- ✨NEW THIS YEAR 👉 Your artwork will be shared with curators and collectors. Praxis will showcase your portfolio to art world decision-makers before these Roundtables, giving you a head start in building your career.
- 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.
