Farewell
to our colleague and fabulous exhibition coordinator
and curator
Miles Payne
We're going to miss our cheerful and accomplished colleague who have guided our successful exhibitions and helped our artists showcase their talents in the best light.
Miles plans to fashion an independent career and shared his thoughts on his experiences at The Collective and what the future holds for him...
"My time here at the Collective has been a transformative period in my life that I could not have expected to happen so soon. I have had the honor to cultivate and be a part of a community that truly embraces and stands by artists. From bringing people into this space for their first time exhibiting to working with well established artists on solo shows, this opportunity has provided me the room to hone in on my craft as well as curate the craft of others.
A million thanks!
My intent after this chapter of my life is to be like the artists we have held space for. I look to them as inspiration for my own dream of creating a career in art. While I make this transition, I hope that the exhibitions represent my core value, diversity. I want to show diversity within craft, lifestyles, age and race. All these different facets of creation can hold space within an exhibition, and it’s been important to show that to people. I know that wherever I end up I’ll carry the hominess and warmth of The Collective with me."
And a million thanks to you, Miles! We predict you will do very well in your career!
Khaili Sam-Sin is our new exhibition coordinator. We'll introduce you to her in a later newsletter.
