🦋I practiced as a full time artist for more than five years. It was an exercise in becoming accustomed to solitude, at times beautiful. Perhaps I grew accustomed but never comfortable. And I know it’s different for each person…some of us are introverts, some extraverts and some ambiverts. For me, community has always been an inner drive, a need, so collaboration became my MO (modus operandi). But truthfully collaboration can be tricky, it requires balance, savvy, patience, persistence and an ever increasing understanding of power dynamics to mention a few. 💫Over the course of my practice as an artist, starting a gallery, engaging as an academic, social entrepreneur and working as a regional arts administrator, I’ve learnt a thing or two about this process. I’d love to share what I’ve learnt with you and we would love to hear your experiences. 📍Submit your collaborative project for The Meeting Place Festival and/or 📍Join us for our FREE MASTERCLASS on the Synapse Frontier Collaborative Model. ***You can submit here: https://lnkd.in/eZRFESwb 💡To join the free MASTERCLASS, register on The Meeting Place Community and create a post “I’m IN #SYNAPSEFRONTIER ***Join the platform by clicking the link below! https://lnkd.in/dpzPJ59n
