Hyde or Practice

Mira Dancy, an incredible artist based in LA, just opened a show at Night Gallery and took the time to chat with us about SO MANY THINGS! We asked her about community and finding inputs and unpacking the male gaze and what did she think was going to be the THING to make her career, but turned out to not be? It is incredible! Enjoy!

From "What does a gallery even do for an artist?" to the ever important "How do I show a gallery my work?" with incredible knowledge and detail! How do you network, can you do it on instagram, in person? ALL OF THESE ANSWERED! It's golden and so excited to share with you!

Watching the trailer for the film, The Art of Making It, is like a trip into the FAQs hottest topic, HOW DO YOU MAKE IT?! Talking to Debi Wisch, we learned not only how she got into filmmaking, but what is interesting about this topic and why make this movie at all? Also, what did she learn making it (heh) and what can we learn from the swath of people they talked to - from artists like Jenna Gribbon to friend of the pod Stefan Simchowitz and internet sensation Jerry Gogosian! It's full of such great info for new and established artists and arts professionals alike!
