This week, accountant and artist Hannah Cole interviews me. As an artist who isn't (yet) a Netvvrk member, she had a lot of questions about how it helps mid-career visual artists. Who is it for? How does it work? What makes it different from a course? Do you really need it? We talk about why I started Netvvrk after years of cobbling together income from adjunct teaching and speaking fees, and how those early artist statement classes revealed a bigger problem—artists needed ongoing support and community, not just one-off solutions. I share how the membership works, from the positions module that shows you exactly where you are in your career to the accountability groups that make sure you actually do the work. We also get into member stories—like the artist who went from applying to juried shows to showing at invite-only shows all the time, and another who landed a show at a blue-chip gallery. If you've ever felt like you're working all the time but stuck in the same place, this conversation breaks down what's possible when you have the right structure and support.
