Love this shift. As an Indigenous art historian, I’m glad you’re moving from simple visibility to real stewardship....seasons, paid curators, and clear framing that treats cultural labor like labor. “The archive becomes exhibition” says it all. This feels like legacy-building, not content-chasing.
As a leftist artist with a lufetime of disappointment with people claiming to be on the artists' side, my first question is, "what's the catch?" Perhaps that might appear to make me sound like a cynic, but as I said, "lifetime of experience."
That’s understandable but as an artist who built this space for artists I don’t get to ask what’s the catch, I have to figure it out in order to move forward not only for myself but other artist who look like me.
Well, actually, you do get to ask "what's the catch" because that is part of your process of developing the movement and space you have in mind. You also get to decide what "catch" you think is necessary. Some are, some aren't.

I’m ready for our art to be OUR ART!

Well damn. Thank you for validating that. I needed that.
Which, I suppose, is qhat you are doing when you say “I have to figure it out…”
Sounds like a good shift. I hope you all follow through.
Thanks for everything.
I’m new here and I love what I’m hearing!
Sounds like an exciting transition. Looking forward to it.
