About this episode

In this episode of The Artist Business Plan we outline how to be the type of artist to get an artist residency with art curator, critic, advisor, presenter, and documentarian, Aindrea Emelife. This Londoner helps us bust some myths (you need a gallery backing you) and she shares some truths (You CAN reach out to curators and art professionals really easily!) As long as you invest in yourself, establish your brand early, and keep in contact you can experiment and take risks that allow you to thrive in your art career!

Guest: Aindrea Emelife is a 26-year-old art critic, independent curator, art advisor and presenter from London. In 2018, Aindrea launched her private art advisory, working primarily with emerging artists and private art collections internationally. She has presented art films for prestigious institutions, is working on a documentary and is set to become one of the leading on-screen voices for the art world now.

Aindrea is also a Patron of Matts Gallery and Serpentine Gallery's Future Contemporaries and sits on the curatorial board of Artfinder. Aindrea has sat on the judging panel for the Ashurst Emerging Artists Prize for four years as part of her ongoing commitment to supporting the next generation of artistic talent.
