Our solution

  • Assessed the chances and developed a serving strategy;
  • They helped me put together a portfolio, publications, and reviews from curators and exhibition organizers;

  • We provided support for communication and document submission.

They worked for free, on a volunteer basis (pro bono).

    Final review, submission of materials, status monitoring, and responses to agency inquiries.
