Videos from Our Venues for Artists Event

On May 22, 2024, we hosted an engaging interactive discussion on how emerging artists can gain visibility. The event featured Boston-area artists Jamaal Eversley and Jennifer Jean Okumura, and was moderated by our managing director, Christine Regan Davi; we are very grateful to our partner, The Foundry, Cambridge, MA, for their assistance and support.

A key takeaway from the discussion was the significance of community and collaboration for artists. Watch this video highlight to gain their valuable insights on implementing these practices:

Cultivating strong relationships with galleries and gallery managers is crucial. In this video highlight, Jennifer and Jamaal provide straightforward, practical advice for artists on how to present themselves effectively.

Jamaal has a business degree, which gives him special perspective on outreach to prospective audiences. Here, he talks about what artists can learn about their creative endeavors from one of the biggest global brands, McDonald's. 

Social media is a crucial channel for artists seeking broader audiences, and Jenny has some great advice on how to set up an effective feed.
