Planning and Executing a Solo Art Exhibit - all the behind the scenes info!

Have you ever wondered what goes into planning and executing an your own art exhibition? In Episode 140 and our Season 5 opener, Heather Travis drops her podcast co-host role and joins Melissa as a guest to talk about the behind the scenes journey to her upcoming, 3 month solo exhibition at Ontario's Bruce County Museum and Cultural Center.

She shares how the opportunity arose, how she developed her very personal exhibit theme, secured grant funding and was able to take 9 months away from active client work to produce 35 large scale canvases! We also get into the very personal aspect of this exhibit as well as using creativity as a way to process events, deal with grief and trauma and as a road to rebirth.

This episode is great for creatives who...
