Press is critical for any artist, and when editors and writers come calling for exhibition reviews and interviews, you want to make sure you are organized so you make the best possible impression. We will start with the basics by examining what press contacts need, making small improvements to ensure that your press kit reflects your artwork or exhibition, integrating this process into your studio practice and increasing your prospects of being referred to art critics. Audra Lambert, Editor-in-Chief of ANTE mag and contributor to HuffPost Arts+Culture, Art Nerd NY, Quiet Lunch, Artefuse, The Culture Trip and more, has covered over 200 artists and exhibitions, and will guide artists through best practices to create a "press kit" that will leave a strong impression on critics as a professional working artist.
The workshop will be hosted on Zoom. Attendees will receive a Zoom link via email.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Black Art Futures Fund.
Tickets: $30
Early bird pricing: $20 through March 15 with code NSC20.
