Paraffin

Contemporary Art Magazine focused on the first years of a contemporary artist's artistic career.

Start Planning trip to Puerto Rico

Since the grant thing was a bust, I'll try and do one week's work over there and see how much I can create in that time. I have two main ideas for this, but I think I'll stick to the first one which is to document exhibitions.

Scrap the grant application

I've been wrapping my head around the whole thing. Primarily I wanted to use it to build the archive for Paraffin but if I do this, the archive must be made available online for free. I have nothing against that but I am trying to make money after all because there are costs. There isn't another thing I have thought of that could fit into the guidelines of the grant, they frown upon journalism and that's all Paraffin is. I'll look for something else but I am a little bit discouraged 😞

attend grant information seminar

I hope to apply for the grant, but I am just trying to see if this will be a good fit. There's a lot of tweaking to do from what I had previously thought to submit.

Read magazine for research on art

I had a magazine delivered, I just finiahed reading it and it's giving me some ideas for for not only content but to sell something physical as well

Watch Social Live streams

There's a guy in Puerto Rico doing random streams of Puerto Rican art which is great for me because I get to see the spaces and write down a few names of people I could connect with for more content

Podcast/research time

Some of the older generations in Puerto Rico started a podcast about Puerto Rican artists and artβ€”an excellent opportunity to listen and see what's going on and their perspectives.
