Curator’s Perspective: Professional Development for Artists

Curator Shannon Fitzgerald discusses Art 365 artwork
placement with Liz Rodda & Frank Wick.

Independent curator Shannon Fitzgerald has worked with artists from students preparing for their first exhibition to internationally-known artists enjoying their museum retrospective.

Since Fitzgerald leads an Artist Survival Kit workshop on November 19, I wanted to revisit some past interviews with her about working with artists, studio practice and more.  She will share her experience as a contemporary curator, giving artists an understanding of professional development and mindful career steps.

Read an interview Fitzgerald about working with local artists, studio visits and her selection process for the Art 365 exhibition in this Art Focus Oklahoma issue.  

See this blog post with her ideas about curators visiting artists’ studios.

The workshop, “The Artist & the Curator in the Studio: Professional Development for the Emerging Artist” will be held Saturday, November 19, 1-4 pm at Individual Artists of Oklahoma Gallery, in Oklahoma City. See more information or register here: www.artistsurvivalkit.org
