Happening during ArtPrize: INDEPENDENT ARTIST
We are pleased to announce that ArtPrize is hosting INDEPENDENT ARTIST, a day-long professional development workshop for artists across disciplines. This event is presented by ArtServe Michigan and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
The workshop is open to all artists, not just ArtPrize participants. You can register now on ArtServe.org. UPDATE! This workshop is full. You can still sign up for the waiting list.
The organizers describe the event this way:
This workshop expands the skill set and knowledge of professional artists with a desire to increase income and professional acumen while also increasing exposure. The one-day course delivers practical information through short lectures, hands-on activities and individual coaching to develop new skills and to impact the entire group’s awareness and professional skills. The workshop is not purely about delivery of information. It is highly participatory and involves coaching conversations that empower you to grow in your creative work and in your career.
The workshop covers:
- Individual Assessment
- Creating and living from your vision
- Speaking and writing about your work
- Crafting effective goals and objectives
- Funding Landscape for Creative Workers
- Fundraising strategy for your projects
- The Grant Process: elements of the proposal and budget writing
- Social Media
- Resourcing Your Practice
