Artist Memberships at PMA (ICA still Free), Peggy Guggenheim documentary at iTunes, Leadership changes at Yale Arts+ CFEVA, and Opportunities for writers and artists

The PMA has introduced their first-ever Artist Membership. Between Feb. 24-28, artists can become members for $25. The application process includes documentation of artist status but the bar is set reasonably — Artists must show “documentation (via smartphone or printed piece) of how they share their work with the public. A website, Instagram or Facebook account, Etsy page, or a postcard of a past or upcoming exhibition will work just fine.”
