September’s PhotoVox speaker, Aidan Avery, has blazed a trail for artists and photographers looking to connect with gallerists, curators, and other professionals in the photo arts industry through his weekly newsletter, The Open Call List. The newsletter is a carefully compiled list of open call opportunities for photographers, exhibitions, grants, fellowships, residencies, scholarships, jobs, and more. As an artist himself, Avery understands the headache that comes with the necessary, non-creative side of an artistic practice, and has developed a solution to share. His talk will go in-depth on the following: how to find open call resources and opportunities in the photo industry, as well as how (and by what criteria) to evaluate those calls to make sure that they are artist-friendly rather than exploitative.
The event will take place online, via Zoom. The event is free for CPAC members and $10 for non-members.
