How to Advance in the Art World: A Panel Discussion

On Saturday, September 17, we shared a panel discussion and conversation at Gerald Ford Museum in partnership with ArtPrize.


This panel, composed of photographer Alfield Reeves and multidisciplinary artist and Kendall College of Art and design professor Natalie "G'Nat" Wetzel (our third panelist Piper Adonya was, unfortunately, sick on this day) shared various experiences, careers, and professional practice wisdom. We shared questions, answers, and dialogue about how each of these two artists cultivates an audience, and create and maintains networks, but also issues of the art world, the relationship of risk in their work and practice, and how art challenges existing barriers and assumptions.
