Art Café: From Studio to Biennale & Art Fairs
Wednesday 7 October | 14:00 UK | Free Online

Major exhibitions don’t happen by chance. Biennales, art fairs, and large group shows can transform an artist’s career, yet often feel inaccessible. This session explains how these systems really work and what it takes to get your work seen. You’ll learn how selection processes operate, what curators and fair directors look for, how to position your practice, and the practical steps that move you closer to major opportunities.

For artists at any stage who want to break into higher‑level exhibitions.

Speakers:
Laura O’Hare – VAA Director & prize lead
Dr Stephanie Dieckvoss – Courtauld Senior Lecturer & art‑market researcher
Shirley‑Ann O’Neill – VAA Founder, curator & bestselling author
