my ideal career path is to be a museum curator however it has come into my brain recently that a museum can be very capitalistic, be made for the rich.. so i host my own galleries, in homes, to bring together local art, free to submit free to visit.. it feels more personal this way

go to community-focused galleries/film festivals/poetry readings/etc in your area and see what people are doing
you'll meet other like-minded people, you'll be inspired but less intimidated bc you met the real human person behind the work, or you'll see some stuff you think is really shitty and you'll be inspired to prove yourself by making something better
it's all a win-win AND you'll be supporting local artists

we're an nyc based art collective that owns and operates a gallery with two physical locations in the les. in terms of advice i'd say only work with people you genuinely like or that seem like good people. also don't be closed off to showing new people's work, the fine art world is soooo exclusive and gross and pretentious and it can be really easy to fall into perpetuating those same values so we think it's really important to try and stay as open as possible. for example if someone asks how they can show their work at your gallery actually tell them and review their work with a genuine interest. and if possible start the gallery with your friends, it makes the whole thing a lot easier :)
