The best way to make connections—and create new opportunities—is to show up.
Be visible. Attend events, lectures, and openings. Participate in panels. Join an industry association. Collaborate with other artists. Serve your community.
And don’t ignore your online presence. Tapping social media networks is just another way to open opportunities.
