Earlier this year, we had the privilege of hosting Rachel Adams 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 is talking about the diversity criteria for selecting residents, including factors such as medium, cultural background, and age. Additionally, she mentions the process of selecting residents and clarifies that Bemis staff members do not pick the residents.
- Video Clip 2: She is discussing the importance of showcasing recent work in residency applications, including providing well-documented samples with installation and detail shots. She also emphasises the need to keep video samples concise due to short attention spans during review.
- Video Clip 3: She is explaining the funding and amenities provided for accepted residents, including a monthly stipend, travel stipend, and fully furnished live-work studios. She details the various facilities available, such as communal spaces, computer labs, a sound studio, and fabrication and ceramics building, along with the equipment and resources provided in those
spaces.
Let’s summarise: Rachel Adams is in charge and she knows what it takes to get your work (and yourself) in the door at Bemis Center.
Would you like to meet her?
As a Praxis member, you can!
- You get access to her 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 Rachel Adams. The insights she shared will help
you know how to win an all expenses paid residency there!
- In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Rachel Adams 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 winning residency applications 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!
Enrolment closes on Friday, January 31st. No exceptions.
PS: Curious to see how the strategies you learn in Praxis translate to results in the real
world? Check out this video from Praxis member Larry about how he secured a studio visit with a curator from a major museum/gallery. He became a member, attended a "meet the curator" event, and built a connection. After some delays due to the curator's transition, he persistently followed up without being too pushy. In the
end he built a connection and got a studio visit.
