FOR INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS:
arts>EXPERTISE: An Artists' Marketing Clinic
Thursday, September 16 | 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. | $20
In a program offered by NYFA, one-on-one, 20-minute consultations by skilled and trained artist consultants will provide information and insight regarding the best practices for your artistic professional career and the importance of excellent presentation of materials when applying for shows, grants, residencies, and when approaching galleries.
Does your WEBSITE pop? your PORTFOIO speak to the reader? How can you give your BIO an edge? your RESIDENCY applications leverage?
Your session will be tailored to your needs! Prior to your meeting, we ask that you define one or two specific areas with which you need guidance. Sessions are not designed to critique the content of artwork, but rather to give feedback on the work's professional presentation.
How to PROCEED: Send an e-mail to Lainy Slyder (lainy@artscenteronline.org) with your name and phone number.
Once your e-mail is received, you will be asked to:
- Specify a time slot
- Determine your two areas for consultation
- Choose a consultant
- Make pre-payment via credit card
This will allow The Arts Center and the consultant to prepare for your session to best serve your needs.
