I Am An Artist: Professional Development Weekend for Artists 

 

I AM AN ARTIST: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WEEKEND FOR ARTISTS


Spend the weekend jumpstarting or refreshing your artist career! The I Am An Artist Workshop offers essential resources, funding opportunities, peer-to peer evaluation, networking and hands-on feedback.

I'm just halfway through this workshop but I've already stuffed my brain (both sides) with valuable information about grant writing and portfolio presentation and galleries and resumes and the labyrinth of taxes and 501c3s and fiscal sponsorship. Lots of good tips. All that, and sharing notes with fellow artists from various backgrounds and experiences. I highly recommend I Am an Artist. —Bob Rini

This two-day workshop includes:

  • The Basics: Learning the Artist Landscape
  • Finding Funding and Other Opportunities
  • Using the Internet as a Tool for Promotion
