    Contemporary Surrealism with Jordan Baraniecki

    In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with Jordan Baraniecki to talk about being an "artistic middleman". Learn about approaching grants and the contemporary surrealist movement when you tune into this lovely episode. Guest: Jordan is a 3D collage painter from Canada.

He has partnered with 0x Society Gallery in Montreal to develop NFTs.
