Join us for an inspiring discussion about the benefits of creating your own art show! With years of expertise in the art world, Ekaterina Popova and Gita Joshi launched a dynamic online program to provide artists with the tools to design and launch self-directed exhibitions. Here’s what we discuss:
1. The importance of advocating for yourself as an artist and thinking outside of the box when it comes to increasing visibility for your work.
2. The mindset shift that happens when you decide to take your art career into your own hands.
3. How creating your own show can help you to cultivate organic connections in your community and beyond.
