What does it actually take to build a six-figure art practice without a single gallery? Sandra and Mark Meyer are going to tell you.

Join us for the closing session of Campana Studios’ Artist Business Development Workshop Series — an open, candid conversation with artist [] and her husband/studio manager Mark on building a thriving practice through the festival circuit, what shows are worth it, and what actually works when selling directly to clients.

No gatekeeping. Just real talk.

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.

Whether you’re applying for exhibitions, residencies, or public art projects, this session is designed to help artists approach opportunities with greater clarity and confidence.
