Hooking Up in the Art World

Feb. 22, 2009

Sondra and her audience, before talking.
The Hamiltonian Gallery at 13th and U, of which I have previously writ, hosts an episodic series of talks geared primarily to the emerging artists whose nurturing the  gallery considers its primary mission. (Lord, that’s some syntactical beauty, that is.) On Thursday evening, the speaker was the lovely Sondra Arkin and her topic “Hooking Up in the Art World.”

Colin Winterbottom and Susan Finsen, already emerged
Not the sexy kind but the networking kind. Although the promise of the title may perhaps have had something to do with the overflow crowd that packed the joint. Nah… Anyway, it was a crowd of astonishing size, mainly artists who’d like to emerge, but also some veterans looking for ideas to help in these tough times. And cookies.
Sondra is a refugee from the marketing world and a whiz at professional development. She has put together a list of resources, newsletters, organizations, etc. that is supposed to be posted on the Hamiltonian website (www.hamiltoniangallery.com). I just checked and it’s not there, yet, so if you want it, you should call the gallery in a couple of days and noodge.
