We run monthly professional development sessions looking at the basics of working in the arts industry. Participants will be able to learn from experts and ask questions in a supportive environment. The sessions will be followed by a social open to all to allow for further discussion and networking.
This session will take place on Wednesday 9th October at 6.30pm (1 hour session followed by 1 hour social) and will look at “Ways to sell your art” with Jaanika Okk from Okk Arts
Ways to sell your art:
- Different types of galleries and their purpose
- Online and offline sales
- Other commercial avenues
- Establishing your ‘why’. Why do you create and what is your USP (unique selling point)?
- Goal setting. If anything would be possible, where do you see yourself in 12 months / 3 years / 10 years?
- Networking and presentation skills.
