Thursday 16 July | 14:00 BST | Online | Free. Success in the art world rarely happens overnight. The artists who build lasting careers are rarely those chasing a single breakthrough moment – they are the ones creating momentum through visibility, recognition, relationships, and sustained opportunities over time. Hosted in conjunction with the VAA Art100 International Art Prize, this free online conversation brings together leading voices from across the art world to explore how artists can think beyond the next open call, exhibition, or sale and begin building a career that compounds. Together with leading voices from the art world and creative industries, we’ll discuss why repeated exposure matters more than isolated wins, how institutional recognition can unlock future opportunities, and why physical publication and documented achievements continue to hold value in an increasingly digital landscape. Whether you are emerging or established, this session will offer practical insight into building a career designed for longevity. What we’ll cover: • Why consistency and repeated exposure often create more opportunity than one-off success • How institutional recognition can strengthen credibility and open new pathways • The relationship between visibility, trust, and long-term collector engagement • Why physical publications and documented achievements still matter in a digital-first. worldus02web.zoom.us/j/82428172946
