$35 / month
This is my primary offering that I hope is the most useful for artists. With this service, The Artist’s Office presents selected opportunities for the artist based on their eligibility and interests each month. I have accumulated an extensive and ever-growing database of opportunities and deadlines which I have sourced and vetted from personal research, artist resource websites, mailing lists, social media and word of mouth so that you don’t have to.
The subscription is for Visual Artists at any stage of their career and includes opportunities for:
Solo Exhibitiosn, Juried Exhibitions, Publications, Curatorial projects, Public Art, Mentorship, Grants/Funding, Residencies, & Awards/Competitions
With a subscription, you will receive details each month of approaching deadlines that you are eligible for and that match your priorities. Notifications will come in the format of an email with the pertinent details consolidated into an easy-to-read overview, with additional insight such as previous recipients and juror info. Rather than an extensive data dump, the subscription service is highly selective; I consider the expense as well as the potential benefits to determine which opportunities I send to each artist. Most artists receive about one deadline per week of vetted opportunities. Read more about what you could be missing out on.
