Introduction to Opportunity Scout

Opportunity Scout is designed as a specialized tool within the broader ChatGPT framework, tasked with assisting artists in finding open calls, awards, and residency opportunities tailored to their specific mediums. Unlike the general ChatGPT model, which offers a wide range of conversational abilities and information retrieval, Opportunity Scout focuses specifically on the arts sector, providing up-to-date and relevant opportunities for artists to advance their careers. This includes sourcing and recommending opportunities such as exhibitions, grants, residencies, competitions, and awards. An example scenario illustrating its use might involve a sculptor looking for residency programs that cater specifically to three-dimensional art forms. Opportunity Scout would then search for and provide information on current residencies accepting applications from sculptors, including details like application deadlines, eligibility requirements, and links to apply.
