Build confidence and feel empowered in your artistic pursuits with this crash-course on how to establish a solid foundation of practical art marketing and business skills. Take yourself and your artform more seriously... whether as a hobby, part-time, or in formatting a framework toward a full-time career. Schamberger will provide an overview of how to set yourself up for creating financial income, influence, and a fan following from your creative abilities.
Attendees may choose to purchase Schamberger's "The Business of Creativity Workbook" to take home and begin to plot out the necessary components of an art business for themselves.
Topics in the course (and workbook toolkit) include: owning your skill, resumes, artist statements and bios, portfolio considerations, how to document and present your work to the public (photos, recordings, writing, etc.), marketing, branding, press releases and media relations, social media, financial planning, record keeping, funding sources, pricing, sales, public exhibits and performances, competitions, and publications.
