Learn About Pop Up Research Station

"Art is Business"

Myself and business partner Liza Simone, see the Pop-Up Research Station as the portal to documenting our legacy, giving emerging curators and artists, new to the world of creative placemaking, a “Tool Kit” that has already been 20 years in the making, researched, developed, and implemented by artists who have carved out niches and built new communities from empty storefront to monthly art walks.

Our methodology: Phantom Gallery Chicago Networks "Creative Conversation" on BlogTalkRadio will cover snapshots of artist stories, host real discussions on the problems we face, offer a support system as well as soliciting advice on how to avoid the potholes moving forward. The interviews done for Popup Research Station on Blog talk are conversational and geared toward the artist’s mindset, but will be helpful for those interested in our projects as a research tool.

Tune in to for upcoming podcast- "Investigating the State of Our Environment facilitated by Adero Knott with eight artists: four emerging artists, and four established artists, to provide an intergenerational perspective. Through a series of "Art Talks," we will explore issues of interest and concern to artists and the Evanston art community and offer young emerging artists and curators to share points of view on how to verbalize these views in their art practice.
