   “The Other Side of Art: Managing and Promoting your Artwork”

–

organize art files2

Life as an artist would be wonderful if we could simply paint and create.
But at some point, we need to send our creations out into the world.
That is where the other side of being an artist must be addressed.

Some of the subjects we’ll be going over are:  taking photos of your artwork, editing your images on the computer including re-sizing and cropping, organizing your art images, editing your source photos prior to painting, artwork management and tracking, social media options, setting up an art page on Facebook and Instagram, creating an art website (free or paid), and selling prints of your work online.

We will review these subjects in as much detail as time allows and explain the actions and concepts in non-geek terms.

There is no fee to attend the morning event. [Open to the public]

       …workshop from 1pm to 4pm…

   HANDS-ON GUIDED EXPERIENCE

The workshop will cover the subjects listed in the program description above…in greater detail…and with hands-on experience.

If you have a laptop, please bring it to the workshop! We will also have handouts to assist in your notes on what we discuss in the workshop.

If you have a graphics program on your computer, you will be shown how to work with that.  If you don’t have one, you will be helped to find an online option to use.

Regina works hard to describe things in an easy to understand manner. She works with artists several days a week at her job.  Over the phone, she walks them through various aspects of creating their own website.
