First, thank you everyone who helped me with this question! Between you all and the class we were able to brainstorm some really great suggestions for finding emerging artists to place in real exhibitions.

Second, there was such a call for me to share the results, I am sharing my still-in-draft LibGuide for Curatorial Research: http://libguides.mica.edu/curatorialresearch

Note: I'm only up through "Magazines and Newspapers" and still need to clean-up my language throughout, but I didn't want to wait on sending this out to this wonderful and helpful community.

Thank you all again!

Best,

Hello dearest colleagues,

I'm teaching a curatorial practice class where students are now at the stage of trying to find contemporary artists (new or not very established) to put in their thesis exhibitions. The prof and I decided that we would focus on how they should go about finding local, regional (east coast), national, and international artists.

So, what are your favorite resources and strategies for you and your students for discovering new artists? While I have my own (i.e. Hyperallergic, Baltimore's City Paper, word of mouth) I wanted to get a broad perspective.

Thank you!

Heather
