Pushing The Flywheel – Artist INC – Newsletter Nov 2015

Pushing the Flywheel – 
Pushing the Flywheel, the official blog of Artist INC, is an ongoing resource for Midwest regional artists.  For Artist INC alumni, “pushing the flywheel” is not only the final lesson of the Artist INC workshop, it represents the hard work and eventual momentum
that comes as they take control of their careers.  
Opportunities

The Foreign Exchange Photography competition is a partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, Ohio.
This competition provides photographers with an opportunity to connect and share their best work. Much like its name, Foreign Exchange is the mixing and sharing of ideas and projects. We want to provide a platform for exposure and give recognition for merit.
Participants’ work will be juried by Andy Adams of FlakPhoto, Laura Ruth Birdwell and Katherine Oktober Matthews.
