In case you’re wondering what the expression “grab the bull by the horns” looks like, well, here it is! For those of you looking the grab some opportunities for yourself, you’re in luck because I have compiled a list. Yes, it’s true, it’s time for another Opportunity List. Here you go:

Opportunity List (formerly Opportunity Weekend) is a list I gather and publish to help fellow artists and photographers. You can see prior Opportunity List pages here and, as a reminder, I do not charge nor do I accept payment for the list.
