About the Event
Artists have a bad reputation in the business world. And, for the most part, that is not altogether incorrect!
Lori Putnam (USA) is a renowned international artist, whose experience as a business owner prior to her fine art career has helped her to dispel the myth that she does little more than sleep late and paint pretty pictures.
This two-hour presentation and Q&A provides invaluable advice on developing your business practice as an artist, covering topics including:
- Three things you can start doing today that will improve your professional reputation
- Marketing is NOT an ugly word, if you learn to do it the right way
- Social media, using the power for good
- Organisation is not your enemy
- Don’t just show up; make a good showing
