That’s why, in this episode, Marshall and I will catch up and discuss the current landscape of AI art, its ethics, and potential uses. Btw, the same day that we recorded this episode, Steven Zapata released a video about his thoughts that has been passed around widely. His video instantly made our episode outdated!

Getting YOUR Work in a Gallery - Draftsmen S3E28 Draftsmen 2021-10-26 | Join Stan and Marshall in their conversation with Ben Zhu, a former student of Marshall’s who also happens to be the founder, owner, and curator of Gallery Nucleus. Ben has years of experience as an artist and gallery owner, so he also has an abundance of wisdom to share with artists looking to get their work into a gallery. He’ll tell you how you can get your foot in the door, ways to make yourself more appealing to galleries, and explain some common faux pas so that you can avoid making them yourself.
