Invited Lecturer, Backing Yourself As An Artist: Professional Development Short Course, convened by Suzanne Davey & Dr. Therese Kenyon, Eramboo Artist Environment; 9 March 2019
Synopsis: As visual artists and craftspeople we occasionally need a boost to deepen our resilience and ability to sustain our art/craft practice. Eramboo is conducting this cultural development course during Art Month from 9 – 30 March 2019, to encourage creative exchange and support among Northern beaches visual arts and craftspeople. This is a course with lectures, discussion and information exchanges to help you play an active role in building and nurturing your art practice. There will be homework!
We will be covering such topics as: How to invest in yourself with time, money and networking. How to set yourself up as a small business. How to approach a gallery. Also how to research for your work, and deal with copyright laws as your work is used on social media.
WEEK ONE: 9 March – An overview including experiences in approaching galleries with advice from guest speaker Meg Fizell curator/manager in the commercial gallery field.
