Netvvrk featured in the New York Times!
It’s a big day for us here at VVrkshop!
Netvvrk, our flagship membership program has been featured in an article by Travis Diehl in the New York Times (paywall). The piece explores the world of online artist mentoring and how Netvvrk fits into it. A small clip from a much larger piece:
“What we are trying to do is to make things easier for artists and also to set expectations appropriately,” Johnson said. Sure, members start out wanting to know how to get more shows and find galleries, she continued, but “those questions get answered naturally” as you focus on meeting people and making art.
Johnson has several part-time employees, including William Powhida, a New York artist known for critiquing art’s power structures in his drawings and writing. In his view, the group can help people “understand what the field looks like and how rare it is to achieve the kind of art world success that they might be seeing or reading about.”
Read the piece and let me know what you think. As always, I want to hear from you!
