Tam Gryn is an expert in NFTs (real ones not scams) and she puts together pop-up shows for artists all over the place. She is a mover and shaker and gets things exhibited and sold. 

Recently for Praxis members, she also broke down methods for artists to be more visible and the direct method for sales.
 

This happened at a recent Praxis Roundtable  -- a weekly Zoom call where Praxis students meet and interact with influential collectors, curators and gallerists. 
 

Here are some out-of-the-box ideas from her Roundtable:

Video Clip 1: Why you can’t rely on traditional support systems like grants or government funding anymore - and what she recommends instead.

Video Clip 2: She is talking about practical ways artists can secure funding and space for their projects. She shares examples of reaching out to brands, landlords, and sponsors to propose collaborations and exhibitions. Also… how do you document projects to build credibility and attract future support?

Video Clip 3: A glimpse into how you can build lasting relationships with supporters and integrate art with commercial concepts. She gives the example of curating a retail space with a sustainability theme, aligning artistic work with brand values. But how do you identify brands that align with your research topics and seek partnerships that benefit both parties?

Anyway, as I said, she is a very motivated and inspired curator who can be a big help if she likes your work!

Would you like to meet her?

As a Praxis member, you can!

• You get access to Tam Gryn’s contact information - as well as the private contact details of 280+ other prestigious collectors, curators and art dealers…
• When you enroll, you get access to the full, 1-hour recording of our Roundtable with her. The insights she shared will show you exactly how to approach her in an email so she takes an interest in your work.

• Annual Plan only 👉You’ll be included in the Praxis Center Portfolio - a curated directory of member websites and portfolios that we share with each of our visiting curators. We’ve had artists contacted for studio visits, included in group shows, invited to submit proposals… 
  
  Recently, Britt Salvesen, the Head Curator of Photography and Prints & Drawings at LACMA, selected five Praxis artists who stood out to her: Virginia Sharkey, Andrew Carnie, Sasha Shalmina, Maria-Agni, and Larry Eisenstein. What struck her was not only the work—but the writing. Their artist statements (yes, developed through our Praxis Center courses) stood out for their clarity and power.
  
  Likewise, Dan Cameron, the curator behind Prospect New Orleans and the man who launched Faith Ringgold's retrospective, looked through the Praxis Portfolio and also picked five artists. FIVE. Among them: Maria-Agni, Glen Gauthier, Andrew Carnie, Udi Cassirer, and Don Keene.
  
  They weren’t pitching him. They didn’t apply for anything. They were just... there. Visible. Ready. This is what Praxis is built for: to help serious artists get their work in front of serious curators. 
   
• In addition, 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.
