Working with A Curator

Project Lab Seminar • October 4, 2023

Presented by Turchin Center for the Visual Arts Curator, Review Santa Fe Portfolio Reviewer, and CENTER Advisory Council Member Mary Anne Redding, the Working with A Curator Seminar focuses on effective strategies for engaging with a curator, from honing a statement of purpose, identifying collaborators, and creating effective presentations for exhibition professionals. Learn how to tailor materials to fit the museum and exhibiting institutions.

This seminar will cover how do you submit work – including what goes into the exhibition proposal and what to expect after your proposal has been accepted – how to fill out a loan form, exhibition/artist’s statements, how the work should arrive, what does ready to install mean, shipping and insurance, and how to negotiate an honorarium among other practical tips and guidelines for preparing for an exhibition. The add-on review provides participants with an invaluable portfolio review session with Redding to refine their projects.
