Instructor: Lucy Petrie
This class addresses those aspects of building your art career that are not about the making of art. It includes: assessing where you are in your career marketing yourself writing resumes bios and artist's statements; systems for keeping track of your artwork, expenses, mailing lists (like Excel); promotional materials (cards, websites, etc.); knowing what expenses are deductible and whether the IRS will see you as a business; finding venues and approaching galleries; evaluating the gallery that wants you; setting prices; competitions (whether to do them and how to find out about them); a bit about photographing work; how to ship work; what you should do for yourself vs. hiring others. Feel free to bring your promotional materials, resume, camera and/or computer or anything else you'd like to discuss.
