Marketing For Artists
Whether self-represented or working with a gallery, artists are increasingly expected to work towards generating buzz and followings for their work. This workshop will introduce various marketing tools and approaches including websites and social media strategies, while highlighting how to increase press coverage for their work.
Photographing Your Artwork

Points covered will be: lighting, camera angle, camera lens, types of files (jpg, tiff), size of files, post-processing and portfolio images vs. social media images.
Pricing Artwork
How is pricing best determined for an artwork? In which ways is a print priced differently from a painting? Which factors influence how much a collector might be willing to spend? This workshop will use group activities and case studies for participants to discuss pricing approaches for artists.
