Grow An Online Audience Of Art Buyers & Sell Your Work In Reputable Venues

You’ve been creating your latest art project for more than a year and still when your family asks, “What are you working on?” you don’t know what to say. Or you serendipitously meet a curator and when they turn to you and say, “What do you do?” you’re tongue-tied.

A good introduction is a concise, compelling description of you and your latest project—and is the basis for all your marketing and connecting the world with your art. It sounds so simple! But it’s not easy. If crafting those few sentences that convey who you are and what you do hasn’t been a breeze for you, you’re not alone.

In this lively workshop, Public speaking coach and author of The Artist's Guide to Grant Writing, Gigi Rosenberg, will show you how to distill years of work on a project into a memorable hook that has many uses: virtual introductions, videos, in-person meetings, grant applications, follow-up calls with the funder, bio statements, press packets, and more.

Breakdown:

Learn how to express your work and what you stand for in writing. From polishing an artist statement you (finally!) feel strong about, to making your bio memorable, to knowing what to do with your non-art background in your resume. Let the author of the book on this topic guide you, and use her fill-in-the-blanks templates for a head start.

This module boils down 20 years of website building experience into the few principles and tactics that matter most for a visual artist -- even if you are not tech-savvy at all.

You will understand how to create the two key outcomes that matter: raising your credibility, and converting visitors into subscribers or collectors.

Through this module, you will create a clear vision for an artist website that makes both you and your work shine. You can then follow the simple steps to bring that vision to life.

When you complete this module, you'll have a fully updated professional artist website you feel proud of. You won’t be shy anymore when people ask to see your art on their phone, or when submitting applications to prestigious international calls for artists.

Everything about your website will clearly state, “I am a professional artist. Here is my work. You can buy now or join my private list.”

What is the #1 channel to sell art online? It’s not social media… it’s” good old email”. Email is what people with disposable income still use every day. And it allows you to build a one-on-one relationship with your followers in their private inbox.

In this module, you will learn how to build an email list like a pro. You will stop any amateur practices you may have fallen into (which sometimes are illegal without you knowing it).

You will end this module having gained your first 100 subscribers in a week, with specific strategies to multiply your growth into the thousands of subscribers. You will also have a defined frequency that works for you to connect with your private email list that includes opportunities for them to buy your work -- while making them feel special.

Would you like to 10x your Instagram following? If you have been struggling to get traction, chances are you need to change the way you are using social media.

In this module, social media influencer and artist Dina Brodsky will share what steps to follow so you can get all the benefits of Instagram as a professional artist while avoiding the pitfalls of screen addiction.

After finishing this module, you’ll know how to self-audit your Instagram profile and fix what is broken. You will receive plenty of examples of great posts whose style you can model the next time you share your work.

You will also understand the specific do’s and don’ts of what makes people stop scrolling, what makes them like and comment, and how you can best take advantage of the algorithms to maximize your exposure.

Finally, you’ll be able to harness the power of networking on Instagram and create new opportunities in your art career. This module includes a “cheat sheet” of Instagram accounts you can approach to get featured to hundreds of thousands of their followers.
