How do you meet the great curators and patrons? In 6 steps

- Join a major museum at a high level of membership ($600 - $1000 a year or more) where Patrons and Curators are in attendance.
- Attend those private inner circle events they host in person.
- Network and introduce yourself to the Patrons and Curators there.
- Follow up with an email inviting them to a studio visit (Zoom or in person)
- Research the Curator/Patron so you can ask them questions about their work too while having the studio visit.
- If the studio visit goes well, ask if you can give them a proposal for an exhibit.
“Brainard, isn’t there an easier way?”
There is: (1) Join Praxis, (2) come to the Roundtables.
You’ll meet a new curator, collector or gallerist each week.
As we come to the end, I want you to take a moment and think about this:
Where would your art career be if I were to I take you by the hand and personally introduce you to a collector, curator and dealer of this caliber over Zoom… every week… so that they can buy, and curate, and champion your work?
Try Praxis membership on me for 30 days.
You have to love it - or I insist you get a refund. You can also cancel at anytime.
Courtesy reminder: You have 5 days to lock this price in before the doors seal shut.

P.S. This is what a Praxis member said in the after talk on Zoom after the Roundtable we had with Lynne Cooke - a VERY powerful few words about what it is like inside: https://youtu.be/Ene-I6OePQk
