This
two-day intensive is for committed photographers who have produced a
developed body of work they are ready to bring into the world but aren’t
sure where and how to begin. Over
the course of our two days together, we will cover everything from the
basics – constructing your resume, presenting your portfolio, drafting an
effective artist statement and an engaging website - to exploring
fundraising strategies, identifying cross-platform opportunities and a
wide-range of outlets for your work as well as addressing the subtle
differences in approaching various types of galleries, publications, and
more; and how the exciting new frontier of online social networking can help
further your career. The workshop will include open portfolio reviews and
strategic discussions that address each participant’s goals.
Led by a seasoned curator and an accomplished artist whose tag-team style,
frank and open dialogue will leave you ready to hit the real world, whether you’re seeking to get your first solo show or
have reached a plateau in your career, with more confidence and a map for
your professional journey.
