Filling The Blank is an internet show for the art world. First conceptualized in 2023 after Sam Blank, our founder and host, attended an event for the gallery they worked at. Sam realized there was a gap in their art education during their studies at Pratt Institute. Art school provides foundational tools for up and coming artists but lacks guidance for professional application. While working as an art handler for a shipping company they learned the fundamentals. Working in a gallery and their travels to art fairs around the country allowed them to speak face to face with the people that make art happen.

After countless conversations in echoey galleries and boozy afterparties. Sam felt the need to share the amazing stories they had the privilege of hearing. Aside from these authentic interactions, there wasn’t a platform for people aspiring to work in the art world to get firsthand knowledge. 

Filling the Blank is the only show where you can hear from some of the top artists, dealers, and collectors in the art industry. It’s where we talk about the worst job you had that summer abroad and the gems you wish someone had told you early in your career.  It’s where we fill the blank between artist and audience.
