She is curating and overseeing a huge collection of photography and is always buying more photographs for the Art Gallery of Toronto (which is really a museum by any standard) and she explains exactly which artists piqued her curiosity and research for the exhibits she produces and why. Just the insider info you need to know!

We recently had the privilege of hosting Sophie Hackett 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 discussing the institution's role in documenting art history and efforts to include diverse voices, particularly those of black artists, in their collection to tell a more inclusive story. This involves a strong emphasis on filling gaps in representation.
Video Clip 2: She is talking about the transition from analog to digital mediums in art and how artists explore materiality, like cyanotypes, within this shift. This reflects on a broader trend in contemporary art.
Video Clip 3: She is discussing the significance of Toronto as an artist hub and the evolving diversity of its art scene. Does she only accept local artists?

TLDNR: If you are a photographer or use photographs in your art, this curator may be a match for you.

Would you like to meet her?

As a Praxis member, you can!

You get access to Sophie Hackett’s 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 Sophie Hackett. The insights Sophie Hackett shared will help you understand her motivations and interests so you can get her attention in the first email you send.
In addition, as a Praxis member you also get to meet a new art world insider like Sophie Hackett every single week, live, at our Praxis Roundtable, which is a Zoom call with a different collector or curator each week…
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 getting feedback on your art to approaching a gallery and museum for an exhibit, writing press releases, and much more!

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.

Where would your art career be if I were to take YOU by the hand, mentor you and personally introduce you to a collector, curator and dealer over Zoom… every week… so that they can buy, and curate, and champion your work?

Do you think you’ll get more shows?

More sales?

More sponsors?

It’s very possible.

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 1 day left to lock this price in.
