An Evening with The Jealous Curator, Danielle Krysa,
\nat Kolaj Fest New Orleans<\/h2>\n

With great pleasure, Kolaj Magazine<\/em> announces that a highlight of Kolaj Fest New Orleans will be “An Evening with The Jealous Curator, Danielle Krysa”.<\/p>\n

Kolaj Fest New Orleans<\/a> is a multi-day festival and symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society, July 12-15, 2018. Visit the website<\/a> to learn more, see an overview of the program, and register to attend. <\/em><\/p>\n

Every superhero has an origin story. Here is Danielle Krysa’s: “The Jealous Curator<\/a> launched in February 2009, as a place for me to show artwork that ‘made me jealous’. Yes, I was jealous of other artists’ work, their lives, their success, their studios. I felt like I’d never have any of that–and I was right–because I wasn’t making art! I was stuck, and so busy comparing myself to everyone else that I didn’t even allow myself to be creative. It was awful. I started the blog to document the work I loved, but more importantly, I wanted to find a way to flip the jealousy into something positive–admiration and inspiration to be specific.” In the past nine years, Krysa’s “The Jealous Curator” site has become a cultural force, featured in dozens of magazines and followed by countless people seeking inspiration and gorgeous contemporary art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But wait! There’s more. In addition to creating a dynamite art site that shines a light on hundreds of working artists, Krysa has given a TED talk<\/a>, spoken to groups like PIXAR, Creative Mornings, and CreativeLive, and was interviewed for several video segments on oprah.com<\/a>. She is also the author of four books<\/a>. In Creative Block<\/em>, she interviews successful artists about how they overcome their artistic impediments. Your Inner Critic Is a Big Jerk<\/em> “deconstructs a pivotal moment on the path to success\u2014fear of the blank page, the dangers of jealousy, sharing work with others\u2014and explains how to navigate roadblock.” In her forthcoming book, Big Important Art Book-Now With Women!<\/em>, Krysa profiles “unstoppable female artists.” But of particular interest readers of Kolaj Magazine<\/em> is her 2014 book, Collage<\/em>, in which she showcased 30 collage artists from around the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Danielle is a champion of artists and collage in particular,” said Kolaj Magazine<\/em> Editor, Ric Kasini Kadour. “Her eye for spotting talented contemporary artists, her ability to tease out the most brilliant advice for creative people, and her general enthusiasm for building bridges between the art world and society out large makes her one of the most compelling art writers of our time. I am beyond excited that she is participating in Kolaj Fest New Orleans.”<\/p>\n

I feel like collage is finally starting to come into its own, and is being considered \u201creal art\u201d. Even though collage has been around for ages, it hasn’t really been given the spotlight it deserves\u2026This event feels like that spotlight.<\/em><\/h2>\n
