SUMMARY:PD: Jane Carney\, The Art of Hanging Art
DESCRIPTION:PD: Jane Carney – The Art of Hanging Art\n					\n									Watch Recording\n					\n		In this presentation\, we will explore the practical and conceptual considerations behind hanging an exhibition – from piece selection and placement to designing viewer experience. The presentation will review common exhibition types (solo / group shows) and offer practical advice for planning and installation. We will alsc raise critical questions about curatorial authority. Is there really a “correct” way to hang a show?\nAs an art consultant at Boston Art\, Jane approaches curating with a holistic method informed by awareness of contemporary context as well as the values of her clients. Jane has executed a wide variety of projects\, ranging from sensitive healthcare curation to large-scale corporate renovations\, to private clientele seeking to cultivate eclectic and personal collections. Prior to joining Boston Art\, Jane graduated from Sotheby’s Institute of Art with a Master’s Degree in Art Business with a specialization in Contemporary Art. She then worked for Christie’s Auction House in the Impressionist and Modern Art and later as a Cataloguer for 20th Century Design. While earning her undergraduate degree at Simmons University\, Jane worked with a variety of Boston art institutions\, including the Museum of Fine Arts\, the Boston Ballet\, and Fidelity’s Corporate Art Group.

SUMMARY:PD: Casey Curry - Arts Marketing: Why visibility with intention makes your work stronger
DESCRIPTION:PD: Casey Curry – Arts Marketing: Why visibility with intention makes your work stronger\n					\n									Watch Recording\n					 \nThis presentation explores arts marketing\, not as a promotional afterthought\, but as an extension of your studio practice itself. Through writing proposals\, newsletters\, social media posts\, and website copy\, artists are continually clarifying their thinking—testing language\, refining intention\, and tracing the evolution of their work over time. We’ll discuss strategies for making the most of your promotional efforts\, not simply to gain visibility\, but also to create stronger\, more polished and intentional work while deepening your engagement with your ideas and fostering meaningful opportunities for feedback and collaboration. \nBio \nCasey is a writer\, curator\, and collaboration expert with more than 15 years of experience working with artists and arts institutions. With degrees in English\, Art History\, and Nonprofit Management\, she has managed exhibitions\, built professional development programs\, and is passionate about helping artists leverage their vision in aligned and authentic ways. \nShe founded Casey Can in 2021 after completing graduate research on the institutional and funding histories behind major land art projects in the American Southwest. Wanting to work directly with artists—yet facing pandemic-era hiring freezes—she began offering done-for-you writing and promotion services to artists she had met through her gallery and institutional work. \nIn the years since\, she has supported more than 50 artists across the US and abroad. Their diverse needs inspired the creation of the Artist Support Retainer\, which distills the strategies and structures that have proven most transformative\, and led her to build a specialized team to deliver them.
