Build Community | Create a Network | Develop Skills for Your Career

We know that talent alone isn't enough to build a sustainable practice.

You need relationships: artists to artist, artists to curators to mentors to collectors, across the sector. This his how we support your career goals and help you get a foothold in a heavily gatekept industry.

You'll also learn crucial business and professional skills that are rarely part of the art curriculum from folks on the inside.
