I Like Your Work: Conversations with Artists

How Open Calls & Residencies Create Unexpected Opportunities


Listen Later

Have you ever hesitated to apply for an open call or residency because of self-doubt? Or maybe you’ve wondered, Is this even worth it? In this episode of I Like Your Work, we’re flipping that narrative. Open calls and residencies aren’t just about submitting your work—they’re about creating opportunities, making connections, and getting your art seen in ways you never imagined.

I’ve heard from so many artists who have had real, tangible opportunities come from being featured in the I Like Your Work Open Call catalog—things like exhibitions, representation, and new collectors. And residencies? They can be game-changers for artists looking to deepen their practice, meet incredible peers, and create work in an inspiring environment.

We’ll also talk about Chautauqua Visual Arts Residencies—an incredible space for artists to grow, reflect, and push their work forward. And I’m beyond excited to introduce our guest curator for this year’s Open Call, Leah Triplett, an amazing curator and writer who brings a thoughtful and engaging eye to contemporary art.If you’ve been waiting for a sign to put yourself out there—this is it.

Why open calls and residencies are more than just applications—they’re opportunities for transformation
