Private Consulting
The heart of Continuous Project is Private Consulting. In these 1- or 2-hour meetings, we refine your parallel practice by assessing your current circumstances, exploring your professional history (as well as relevant intersections with your personal life), and dreaming about your future. Our conversations are grounded in empathy and nonjudgment to define your unique path to fulfillment and sustainability for your work and your life. The conversation varies, depending on your questions, circumstances, and learning style: We may outline practical tools to help build and maintain an infrastructure for your work; we might discuss how to find new opportunities for your work or strategic approaches to working with professional partners; we could investigate your mindset around your work and its public-facing aspects—or all of the above.
Group Consulting
Group Consulting offers a similar format to private consulting with the added dimension of the knowledge-sharing and plural perspective that is unique to a group conversation. Together, we create a space where participants are comfortable asking questions and sharing impressions about the parallel practice by actively practicing confidentiality, privacy, civility, and vulnerability. Limited to six participants, Group Consulting is intimate, informative, and inspiring. Conversations may touch on practical solutions to everyday problems or explore ideas, mindsets, and dreams. Corrina moderates the discussion, acting as guide, mirror, advisor—and sometimes cheerleader—depending on the needs of the individual participants and the group.
Growth Planning Workshop
By embracing growth planning as an ongoing practice, you can reduce overwhelm; make values-driven decisions; improve focus; and stay aligned with what’s most meaningful in your work. In this immersive year-long workshop and leadership community, participants are guided through the 8-part process of growth planning, which is designed to envision, assess, organize, and plan your parallel practice: all of the operational infrastructure that supports your creative practice and helps you bring it into public view. The workshop provides a structured, affirmative environment to create or renew a sustainable growth plan and integrate the growth planning process into your parallel practice. Designed to both teach growth planning and support participants in their growth planning process, the bi-monthly format combines workshops, coworking, discussion, quarterly private meetings with the instructor, and independent work.
Guggenheim Application Cohort
The Guggenheim Application Cohort provides guidance, accountability, and support to Guggenheim Fellowship applicants. Our aims are to demystify the application process; offer insight on navigating the opacity of institutional recognition; normalize applying year after year; and build community around a shared aim. Our bi-monthly schedule alternates between instructional presentation and workshop breakout sessions with ample time for Q&A and discussion.
Parallel Practice Seminar
Parallel Practice encompasses a weekly seminar and individual studio visits to explore questions, ideas, resources, and tools for MFA candidates or working artists to establish or maintain a fulfilling and sustainable life. This class helps students identify their purpose and context through the lens of practical skills and considerations that can benefit artists operating in any area and at any level of the field. There are many ways to be an artist, and Parallel Practice is a class that uplifts self-determination in each artist’s life and work. The class focuses on two tracks of inquiry: 1. Defining fulfillment, success, and sustainability on one’s own terms; 2. Acquiring knowledge and skills to operate a studio that can support one’s artmaking practice. Students will complete this class with a set of questions, ideas, resources, and tools to use immediately and return to as their art and lives evolve over time, establishing a thriving studio practice that operates in parallel to their dedicated artmaking practice.

Corrina is available for select teaching, speaking, and panel engagements. Her unique view into the lives of artists, art workers, and other creative entrepreneurs and arts professionals may also be of interest to journalists and podcast producers whose work touches on topics such as creativity, cultural labor, professionalization in the arts, the art world, and how to live a sustainable life as a working artist.
