Achieve your artistic aspirations
Surviving the Visual Arts and Media with Practical Steps, Tough Love and Good Old Common Sense will guide you through the questions you need to ask yourself, and the goals you need to set to achieve your artistic aspirations.
While personal development is integral to many jobs these days, it is not necessarily that way with a career in the arts. So, I will give you practical, relevant working booklets and planners l-o-n-g after the workshop has finished. You will also receive individualised and personalised advice from me throughout the sessions - and form invaluable working partnerships with other participants.
Whether your goal is “I want to win my local art prize” or “I want a New York gallery” or “I have a fantastic idea for a pop-up event”- we will tackle it together.
We’ll explore the real challenges and provide a map for positive change. Solutions to the following will be discussed and shared;
Being an Exhibitionist – solo, group, pop-up, open studio
Finding your Fans and leading them to your exhibition
OMG! My art doesn’t speak for itself! (What your clients, fans and media expect you to be able to say. Media Releases, speeches, interviews, gallery tours and Artist Statements).
