This #IWD I spent the afternoon at the Creative Conversations event surrounded by brilliant women in art and creative business.
So much insight, inspiration and honest dialogue about creativity and growth.

Winning the Technology & Innovation Award at the Glow Women’s Awards by Glow Network Zambia last night means so much to me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, to the jury for the recognition, and to everyone who continues to support my journey! 💛💛💛

Building a good team of creatives takes time and you will need systems for a team that can function properly.
Also have a good pipeline to allow for people to easy get into the systems you’ve created as you grow
What does it really take to build work that lasts?

Please share, bookmark, and *retweet so other artists see it*. Let’s spread the knowledge and not gate keep it. Opportunities are always around the corner, it’s a great time to build up your exhibition & residency history and get your work out there.
I’ve looked through each call but as always DYOR, read the details and requirements of each call to determine if the opportunity is right for you. (I hold no affiliation with these calls.)
Thank you to the teams at @shillrxyz and @timepieces for including these opportunities in their newsletters!
