Have you thought about working for a gallery or managing one? Or starting up your own mini art space with a group of like-minded artists? Taking over an established artist run initiative (ARI) is the next closest thing. Not only is it great to be a part of for yourself (and your resume); you can also contribute to sustaining your local area’s artists, arts and culture.
How do you get involved? Get a group together … people who feel passionate about starting an arts organisation. Once you have planned thoroughly, apply for funding.
This is exactly what Susan Reid did when she founded and established Cell Art Space
