How Curators Actually Discover Artists (+ Where to Submit Your Work in 2026)

Описание: Ever wonder how curators find artists to publish in magazines, invite to podcasts, or include in exhibitions? After a decade of running Create! Magazine and discovering hundreds of artists, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I find new talent—and how you can put yourself in front of the right eyes.

In this video, I share:

✨ The #1 way curators discover new artists (hint: it's more accessible than you think)
🎨 Why open calls and juried opportunities are worth considering
🌍 Free and paid platforms where you can submit your work
📍 How local shows can build your resume before going global
🔍 Real examples of artists who got published, exhibited, and collected through these methods

Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your reach, this video will help you understand the curator's perspective and take strategic action in your art career.
