How to Choose yourself as an Artist (Online)

Instructor: Michael Foley

Date: September 9th, 2021

Time: 7 – 9pm EST

Location: Virtual

Cost: Free (donations welcome)

The question I get asked most as a gallerist is, “How do you choose the artists you represent?”  The better question to ask is, “How can I choose myself to be a successful artist without waiting for a gallery to represent me?”  Whether you want to work with a gallery sometimes, all the time, or not at all, you can come up with a strategic plan to move your career forward.

In this workshop, you will learn and sharpen your skills to effectively get your work seen and discovered by your audience.  I will introduce you to less traditional and unorthodox approaches to present and sell your work.

We will design a social media plan for effective communication, variety, and stickiness. I will teach you how to apply to competitions and what competitions to apply for, and other opportunities that are worth your time, effort, and resources.

There are three types of artists out there:  ones with a gallery, ones without a gallery, and ones with a gallery when they choose to have one.  This workshop will help you determine which path is right for you.
