try a local student show to find cool stuff; it doesn’t have to be expensive; it‘ll cost more than a bootleg ferris buller poster; but it’ll support a hungry artist and add more to your life than a blank wall or a pop figure

go to community-focused galleries/film festivals/poetry readings/etc in your area and see what people are doing
you'll meet other like-minded people, you'll be inspired but less intimidated bc you met the real human person behind the work, or you'll see some stuff you think is really shitty and you'll be inspired to prove yourself by making something better
it's all a win-win AND you'll be supporting local artists

I’m planning to do the same. Make flyers for it, post them online and irl, make it a party, do it at an air bnb, apartment, abandoned warehouse, wherever. Then you can make the vibe whatever you want, pick the music, make food, whatever you think fits your art. Can do some networking there, who knows who’ll show up ! If you document it, I’m sure more established institutions will be impressed at you putting on your own show if you decide to apply for your next collection of work. At the very least, you can throw a fun party with your art on the walls !

Engage with ur city! Go to the little gigs and events and garage sales that someone printed 40 posters at their uni library for. Listen to those soundclouds. Read those poems.
Remember that if something isnt ‘good’, it can still enrich your life.

You need your own homepage! Why?? Becouse it’s rad and cool; not a CV site, not a portpholio, not a page that links to you blabla socials! A real homepage, that’s a home, for you and the things you love! Its liberation and fun and you know u want to!
