Class meetsfor 2 sessions,Tuesdays 9/13 & 9/20 6 – 8pm ET
The playing field is leveled, and image making has moved to digital promotions, experiences and exhibitions. How can this be used to your advantage? Organization is essential for success, and this course will guide you on management of your many dreams, goals and endeavors.
Between the two sessions, we will go over topics including best practices on reaching out to agencies and galleries, writing about your work through artist statements, cover letters and more.
We will also talk about displaying work online, everything from curating the content on a personal website, to using 3rd party selling platforms like Artsy among others.
Two key areas we will discuss are:
- Know your work, know yourself. What are you putting out there, and does your statement match your work? Can you describe your work in 30 seconds? Who are your dream clients or audience, where do you want to go?
- Know your audience. How can you create and cater to clients while staying true to your practice and self? After reaching out, how do you effectively follow up? What is the most appropriate way to open a conversation?
