What’s considered a professional opportunity?
An “opportunity” may refer to many things:
- an invitation to exhibit at a gallery or museum;
- an audition for a major dance company performance;
- an invitation to undertake a project, performance, installation, etc;
- an invitation to present your work in a significant way that will expose your work to new audiences;
- the finishing/completion of new works, already underway, that will allow you to take advantage of a significant professional opportunity.
