During our Open Door Days last year, Kiri & Miranda connected with the incredible CJ Verita, who is an artist/writer with spoken word poetry and digital art being her primary mediums. We recently chatted to her about her Open Door Days experience and what she took away from it.

We asked CJ…

How did you find out about Open Door Days? What encouraged you to attend?

I came across CuriousWorks – Open Door Days on Instagram. It was at a time when I was beginning to get more serious about my artistic endeavours and I was sharing my work instead of just considering art as a hobby. Open Doors was the perfect opportunity for me to share my work in a safe, supportive environment and receive feedback. As well as getting invaluable career advice and a sense of direction for my path moving forward as an artist.

Who did you connect with from the CuriousWorks team & what was your experience like with them?

The open door session I had with Kiri and Miranda was so helpful and insightful for my personal development and career direction. I cannot thank them both enough for providing such a safe, inviting space to nurture the growth of artists such as myself. It was a blessing to have their vision and guidance imparted at this stage of my creative journey.
