Call for Entry - A How-to On Getting Ready for That First, or 31st, Show

Spend some time with Brandt Eisner, artist and curator, to learn about the how to’s of preparing for that next or first show. Through a series of info sessions and Q&A’s, Brandt will help us navigate a call for entry and understand what makes a good submission. 

As we explore the multiple steps from Expressions of Interest, to Call out, through to making your work and then making the submission, no questions will be too small to cover in these conversations with Brandt. Brandt will also answer questions around CV’s, artist statements, and what makes a good photograph. 

Interested? Join us on September 11th from 7-9 pm for the first in a series of discussions with Brandt via zoom. These are free events for current members of the NSPG.
