The Connect International Showcase is the in person exhibit for participants of The Connect Residency. Founded by Hollie Davis, The Connect Residency is an international networking and exhibition program. The participants applied from Nigeria, Turkey, France, and Brazil and Chicago. We met virtually in March of 2022. I taught skills on exhibit proposal writing and how to find calls for art. The second hour I interviewed full time artists with international careers. You can view the exhibit at Joplin Marley Studios 9911 S Walden Parkway Chicago Il. 60643 until 6/20
