OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND THE GALLERY WALL
The Creative Kind podcast with Julie Battisti
“In this episode of The Creative Kind, I speak with Sydney based art consultant and educator Laura Brandon about artist opportunities beyond the gallery wall. With over 20 years of experience across public art, education, archiving, and exhibition development, Laura brings deep insight into how artists can meaningfully connect with new platforms, spaces and collaborators.
We talk about everything from public art projects and artist statements to grants, residencies and building your own art ecosystem. Laura offers practical tips for tailoring applications, finding your own voice in written materials, and identifying the opportunities that are actually a good fit for you and your work. We also talk about what makes a strong application, and how to make the most of mentors, peers, and support systems around you.”
