Great to be here! I am from Sarnia, Ontario- used to live in Toronto, London and also Vancouver- and now live in Atlanta, Georgia. Are there any members who live in Atlanta? if so, join Atlanta Canadians and also message me! There is a great Canada Day party at Meehan's every year- maybe we could meet up there! Can't wait for art opportunities in Canada!!!! Is this group just for Canadians, or are Americans allowed to join it, too?

Oooo thanks Kerin. Did I tell you I was looking for a show in Montreal? Or did you read my mind!? :) I think I'll post it as a discussion soon, see if anyone knows about it. Thanks!

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately

- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting  in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker. 

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

FOLLOW ALONG...leave your comments and questions.
