Opportunities for artists are everywhere — but knowing how to navigate them can make all the difference.

Join us for the next session in Campana Studios’ Artist Business Development Workshop Series, led by curator, educator and arts administrator Alessandra Moctezuma .

This workshop offers practical insight into how curators and selection panels evaluate artist materials, what strengthens an application, and how artists can better position themselves for exhibitions, grants, and public art opportunities. The session will also cover navigating RFQs and RFPs, along with best practices for working professionally with institutions.

A well-maintained portfolio is an essential tool for submissions, presentations, and professional opportunities — especially when others ask to see your work in a more focused way.

As a general guideline, prioritize work from the last one to two years that reflects your current direction, materials, and ideas. Older work doesn’t need to disappear entirely, especially on your website, but it should be limited and intentional.

From our recent Studio Foundations workshop. Follow along to stay up to date on upcoming workshop dates and artist business development programs.
