  1. CREATING A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00ab\u00a0Whether you are an established artist, just starting out, or not sure if you really want to pursue a career in the arts, the Dawaa Dazhi Gallery welcomes people at all levels. The gallery is a place where people can practice, experiment, and fail without a high amount of risk. Four artists are featured a month, and the gallery works on a first come first serve basis. \u00a0There is no age or demographic barrier, people as young as ten have pitched their ideas and been welcomed into the gallery as if they were a professional artist who had been exhibiting for years. \u00a0For organizations interested in creating a community gallery it is important to create a place for practice, peer mentorship, and experimentation! Dayna\u2019s tips are to hit the streets, meet people face to face, and don\u2019t be scared to ask for help with social media.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
