Attaining representation is a goal for many artists and performers. While it’s seen by many as a marker of success and support, it’s often unclear how to get representation.

This free panel event will focus on how to attain representation with a gallery or agent. In this panel discussion, you’ll hear directly from visual artist Jen Mazza (represented by Tibor De Nagy Gallery) and performing artist Shamel Pitts (represented by Lotus Artist Management) on their paths towards reaching this milestone. You’ll also hear from Takako Tanabe, Director, Ulterior Gallery, and Sophie Myrtil-McCourty, Founder and President, Lotus Artist Management, to get their perspective on what factors they consider when deciding whether to represent an artist. Time for Q&A will be provided.

NYFA is pleased to present this free online workshop in partnership with the Northern Virginia Local Arts Agencies a special collaboration of the Office of the Arts, City of Alexandria, ArtsFairfax, and Arlington Cultural Affairs.
