This is a great article about supporting artists who at times didn’t have venues. It’s also great to read the differences in attitudes about such support.
We still have a long way to go to understanding the modern landscape of the art world wherever any support emerges.
I have entered exhibitions for years throughout this country to find opportunities and I’m grateful that they were open to anyone who took the time to submit their work.
