A Curator wants to meet you...
Published: Mon, 09/14/20
I want to get a curator to visit you (which is the easier part), and show you how to conduct a successful studio visit that makes you feel great when they leave (which is the hard part).
You know, there are patterns…
Almost every time I meet an artist, they ask me “Brainard, do you know any curators that can come to my Studio?”
The answer is:
Yes and No. I teach you how to find those curators.
Because you have to build your own list, based on your medium, your way of working, your message, your ideas, the way you want to exhibit and install work (which is different for everybody)…
Except now, travelling doesn’t matter because… corona.
Indeed, most studio visits have moved online.
That’s why I created a new monthly challenge for you. I call it:

ZOOM STUDIO VISITS FOR ARTISTS:
How to get a curator to do a Zoom studio visit with you (and prepare for that visit) in 2 Months so you feel confident before and after that visit

Here are my objectives for this workshop:
#1
Go from not knowing whom to invite to having a list of curators - and meet a curator live in our roundtable discussions.
#2
Go from never having a good studio visit to having 2 every month (or more, because you are using Zoom)
#3
Go from awkward and panic-stricken visits to successful studio visits that make you feel great when the curator leaves
But I also wanted to be realistic.
Therefore, I thought about all the things that are currently preventing you from holding studio visits, and found workarounds for each.
In other words, I’m going to teach you a strategy that you can implement right now - one that doesn’t require to first become a Matthew Barney or a Marilyn Minter…
This is a process you can use…
WITHOUT having to reorganize / redecorate your entire studio
WITHOUT having to get your kids out of the house (and can’t because of the darn coronavirus)
WITHOUT needing to have an exhibition history
WITHOUT needing to ‘know someone’, have more connections/influence
WITHOUT needing to be more than you are (I am not enough. I need more work in the same vein, and I don’t have enough in that body of work. I need to be a better artist and I’m not yet.)
And I solemnly promise to you, from one artist to another, that this process works EVEN IF...
...your studio is a mess
...your kitchen table is your studio
...you are not an extrovert, smooth around your art, or naturally charismatic
I structured the training as a Monthly Challenge, with specific action steps and a workflow for each step.
I also broke the process down into milestones to track your progress:
Milestone #1:
Custom list of curators within a month
Milestone #2:
Within 2 Months you have your first online visit from a curator
Milestone #3:
Within 6 months (or sooner if you’re ready), you’re having multiple visits per month
