Artists = Curators = Collectors
This collaborative project aims to build the soil of a solidarity arts ecosystem in Connecticut. With this seed funding we will build an artist/curator collective where artists co-curate group shows and build the tendrils of their own creative community, with all events taking place in non-traditional spaces. Furthermore, we are excited to experiment, learn, and share strategies for generating income for artists. A core focus of this project will be to use these shows as a jumping off point for designing and implementing business venture prototypes. For example, this may include invite-only studio visits or artist talks with collector-curious folks, fundraiser events “by artists, for artists,” or limited edition art prints. We plan to document and report back on these experiments so others can replicate them.

This project is a collaboration between artists/curators Peter Albano and Brooke Toczylowski.
