In this studio session I talk to artist Andrew Sleeman and curator Laura Brinin from Side Gallery in Brisbane about preparing for a solo show. Andrew shares his motivations for having his solo show and the learning curve involved, while Laura provides insights into what galleries and curators look for in an artist and their work. The conversation delves into topics such as framing, photography, and the costs associated with putting on a solo exhibition. Both Andrew and Laura touch on the importance of building a supportive community, clear communication, and setting realistic goals for the success of the show.

Andrew's solo show, 'Bare' is set to open at Side Gallery in Brisbane on August 14th.
