Welcome to a special episode of Art Crush! Hosts Paula Telizyn and Fi Marks are joined by guest artists Jela Prancic (Toronto) and Susan Gardner (Leicestershire) to discuss the final preparations for their highly anticipated 51% Collective exhibition.
If you are an art lover in Derby, a regular at the Artcore Gallery, or a woman navigating your own creative business, this episode offers a beautifully candid behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a collaborative art show from the ground up.
The group discusses the complex logistics of planning an international show, from figuring out how to safely transport mixed-media pieces from Canada in tubes to overcoming local mobility challenges.
Most importantly, this episode celebrates the incredible power of women artists supporting one another. The collective shares how leaning into each other's unique strengths—whether that’s digital mockups, sourcing local gallery furniture, or handling marketing—made this exhibition possible.
They also challenge traditional gallery norms, discussing why artists should take control of their own curation, lighting, and framing choices.
Join us in person! "The Wild Within" opens at the incredibly supportive Artcore Gallery in Derby. The opening night is October 23rd from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM UK time. Come enjoy some nibbles, meet the artists, and experience the inaugural show of the 51% Collective!
