About Netvvrk

Netvvrk (pronounced Netverk) is a supportive community of ambitious artists working to realize their goals. We teach artists how to gain exposure, recognition and payment for the valuable work they do through group coaching, studio critiques, and resource sharing.

You can join at any point in your career. We tailor our program to support emerging, mid-career, and established artists alike.

Do you...

🍄Feel stagnant in your career? You show your work, but the opportunities don’t seem to be materializing into bigger exhibitions or better sales.

🍄Struggle to identify what problems to focus on first? You know you need to post more on instagram, and apply for more residencies, but don’t know where to spend your time to get the shows you need.

🍄You want to meet more people who can show your work, but don’t know how to approach them, and you’re worried you don’t speak well enough about your art to capitalize on studio visits.

🍄 You have more ideas than you can execute, yet never seem to have enough time in the studio. You’d like to make more art and more money but don’t know how to get there.You have more ideas than you can execute, yet never seem to have enough time in the studio.

IT’S TIME TO INCREASE YOUR SHOWS AND VISIBILITY

AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO IT ALONE!

What would it be like to:

😃Feel optimistic about the growth of your show opportunities and the development of your work in the studio.

😃Be able to clearly prioritize tasks during the week so you can focus on your studio work without nagging guilt for not doing other work.

😃Belong to a supportive network of ambitious artists who share resources and connections without treating them like precious resources.

😃Be able to execute more ideas because you have the strategies in place to work smarter, not harder.

At Netvvrk, we believe that artists deserve more hands on professional support for the work they make, and strive to make sure they have the resources that will get them the shows and studio time they deserve.
