SELLING YOUR ART, SELLING YOURSELF AND HOW TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING BOTH

Do you (really) know what you want for your art career?  Are you properly planning and marketing to reach your goals?  Is your portfolio ready to show to galleries? Do you know which galleries to approach? Do you know how to approach them?  Learn how to best represent yourself, your work and determine the right course for your art career in this intensive practical workshop. As a curator, art writer, art consultant, former gallery director and artist, A. McLean Emenegger has an in-depth knowledge and insider perspective of the Los Angeles art world. In her workshop, McLean will help guide visual artists through the process of preparing themselves to promote their work and develop the relationships necessary to advance their careers.

"The breadth of the presentation and attention to individual questions was so valuable!"

"I left the workshop with the ability to visualize myself creating and implementing a marketing plan and having a successful art career. What was previously an aspiration and vague hope, now feels obtainable and real."
