March 16, 2007—They’re not going to come knocking on your studio door. Ever. No matter how incredible your art is you have to get out of bed (and get out of your studio) and share it with people. If you’ve been throwing darts and praying for the best for your art career, think again. Successful art careers don’t just happen, but are the result of hard work and savvy skills. Alyson B. Stanfield of ArtBizCoach.com is flying in from Colorado to share self-promotion secrets with artists in Central Florida.
Artists should make plans to attend the Shameless Self-Promotion for Artists workshop on March 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Art Center Manatee in Bradenton. If you roll out of bed early that Sunday, you’ll learn:
- Nine things every artist needs for promoting their work.
- Why the process of writing your artist statement is critical to your marketing (and how to make it pain-free).
- How to build a network of people who are essential to your success.
- Creative ideas for marketing your art.
- What promotional materials you’ll need and the rules to follow when creating them.
You should absolutely stay in bed on Sunday if:
- You think you know everything already.
- Have no desire to make a living from your art.
- Believe that if your art is good enough, you’ll be discovered.
- You have a highly contagious virus.
On the other hand, you should set your alarm and join the other shameless self-promoters if:
- You are fired up about sharing your work with the world.
- You’re ready to put into place the tools you need to advance your art career.
- You realize you can’t succeed on your own.
- You’re highly entertaining and can provide comic relief at the breaks.
The workshop is $75 and includes lunch. Get registration details at
http://www.artcentermanatee.org or by calling 941-746-2862.
