It’s simple.
You’re at any stage of your career and you need a studio visit that’s honest, intuitive, intelligent and encouraging.
You need a visit from someone who reads & writes widely, who has enough life experiences to understand where you are coming from and suggest fresh things for you to read and try.
You need to talk with a successful working artist who has made some of the sacrifices you’re making to be an artist in a world that enjoys our work but rarely understands us.
Like chaplaincy. For artists.
I’d love to come to your studio
I’ve been invited to be a visiting artist and scholar at institutions all over the country for well over a decade. Every time is rich and woefully short (!) and then I’m off to another city. For those who would like more consistent visits with me or are not inside the BFA / MFA machine, this is an opportunity for you to work with me directly when you need. There’s no reason to wait for me to make it out to your area.
With MFA and BFA programs increasingly expensive or closing, new strategies are needed for art education that allow artists to access the support they need.
Schedule a visit:
Venmo @Indira-Allegra
CashApp $IndiraAllegra
Tier one: $250
Tier two: $175
Tier three: $100
For those of you who can pay more it helps me to offer lower rates to those who need it most. I know it is genuinely rough out here.
If you are in New York City, I can come to your studio in person, otherwise we can meet on Zoom if it works for your practice.
