ILN Insiders
How to navigate the gallery scene and never miss an open call again. Plus, the usual goodies: 40 + opportunities, events & networking prompts
Good morning Insiders,
Awards season may be behind us but we still have some fashionable events to attend.
That said: awards season can be an image-overload for all of us, but especially for women as looks are torn apart. We love this newsletter on the topic of culture x beauty x representation.
If you’re looking for a break, we have partnered with Blue Rhythm for a free mental health session.
This week we are talking about navigating the gallery & visual arts circuit but if you have a burning question about your career (can be anything, big or small) let us know.
Finally, a reminder that our big jobs roundup newsletter comes out next week!
🚀 Let's go!
💬 Question of the week: How to Navigate the Gallery Circuit?
🎨 Show up to events, whether these are gallery openings, talks, or events designed specifically for the purpose of networking. We love this article on navigating events as somebody who doesn’t drink.
✨ If you're starting out, many museums have youth groups providing real-life experience, upskilling & networking opportunities.
🌟 Join initiatives like Young People in the Arts, Art Clubbers, Young Arts Fundraisers, Frank, CVAN and AWITA.
🤝 Peer-to-Peer mentoring is an often overlooked tool. Forge bonds with fellow artists. Remember, networking is also about fostering a community that uplifts, shares, and evolves together.
🌐 Create Your Platform which showcases your skills whilst helping you to amplify your network and fellow creatives like @private.view.blog or @shecurates
