Event Details
What propels an artist into the global arena, and what are the alternative platforms for success and sustainability? Join art professional and best-selling author Halima Taha for an interactive workshop to learn new strategies and gain tools to help you manage the business side of your art career. Taha will provide a thorough overview of the overlapping collective activity existing within a layered ecosystem of artists, dealers, collectors, curators, critics, appraisers, and insurers and will distinguish the difference between the art world and the art market.
The workshop will also present multiple markets for visual artists, with marketing strategies that include artists' bios, statements, and elevator pitches designed for greater visibility within the collective activity of the art world. Artists will walk away with a clear plan of action and an understanding of their responsibilities within their practice.
The cost for this workshop is $25 for Bullock Museum Members and $35 for general admission.
A limited number of tickets are available for Big Medium Members; stay tuned for an RSVP link in your emails.
