Summer School: Partial Package (Sessions II, III, & IV)

Partial Package includes entry to the three remaining sessions:

• Session II: July 23, 7pm
• Session III: August 6, 7pm
• Session IV: August 13, 7pm

Addresses will be shared with attendees over email ahead of each event.

This session breaks down how those at the forefront of the industry get art from studios around the world, and into private collections and museums. How do galleries and artists work together? How does work get priced? How do gallerists build relationships with collectors? How do those from outside the gallery structure work in the industry, and when is it time to work independently? Hear from Cierra Britton, Director of Cierra Britton Gallery, and Ken Castaneda, Director of Company Gallery, as well as Shauna Haynes, of Beyond Vue. This conversation will be moderated by Calvin Reedy.

Jenée-Daria Strand, Assistant Curator of Public Art Fund, will provide an exhibition tour of Woody De Othello: Guardian Spirit, before elaborating on her own curatorial practice and how she collaborates with artists from her vantage point as a curator. A Q&A will follow.

What informs an artist's practice? How do they navigate the art market? Hear directly from the source with artists in dialogue. Details to be announced.

Summer School is a four-session conversation series where emerging and seasoned collectors, the curious, and the culture-obsessed come together to learn, connect, and deepen their understanding of art and the industry.

Each session runs as an interactive talk with art world experts, designed for people who are done feeling like they need an art degree to participate. You'll leave with the vocabulary, the framework, and the confidence to engage with art on your own terms.

Pick and choose which sessions speak to you, or attend all four.

Summer School exists because New York City is full of people who go to openings, follow artists online, and feel something when they see great work, but don't know what to do next, and are ready to learn more. Art shouldn’t be exclusive, so we built this for you.
