Photo Courtesy of the Artist I'm Ayana Evans, I\u2019ve worked as a performance artist for the past 14 years - usually while wearing a neon zebra print body suit, my hero costume - More on that here:  https://www.ayanaevans.com/  and I'll be using this newsletter to give tips on what I've learned along the journey of my career. Topics you can look forward to include: The ART of Not Giving Up, Making Art While Grieving, Gallery Style Vs Guerilla Style Performance Work, What Residencies I Recommend, etc. I may also rant a little about what it's like to be a mid-career artist in NY (aka my oberservations of the art world's current state.) I promise I'm also very funny. If you are into that subscribe below.
