Professional Practices for Artists and Culture Workers

Crafting an art career is a personal and often counter-intuitive process. BmoreArt has produced hundreds of how-to articles, interviews and studio visits with professionals, and publishes a weekly Calls for Entry as part of our BmoreArt’s Picks every Tuesday. We also have an online Baltimore Arts and Culture Guide that lists all of the museums, galleries, cultural organizations, art supplies, and other types of resources for creatives.

 

For artists in the region, we encourage you to sign up for a new service and program:

BmoreArt’s C+C program is offering a FREE professional development opportunity for artists.

Led by artist Jeffrey Kent, this exclusive opportunity is available to a limited number of applicants. Individualized consultations will be catered to the goals of each artist according to where they are in their career. Sessions may include: developing your artist portfolio, curating an online presence, grants and residencies, negotiating or presenting a studio, engaging with collectors, placing your work in museums, and more.

Sessions will be scheduled directly between participants and Jeffrey. All artists are welcome to apply—there are no qualifications that would make you under- or overqualified. Space is extremely limited, and spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis through the following LINK.
