We will discuss how to cultivate interest in your work and build long-term relationships, including tapping into your existing network, communicating with authenticity and strategically sharing career updates and new bodies of work.
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.
