Class description:
Are you ready to move on from showing your art in alternative exhibition spaces? This class will show you the steps to take in finding and applying for gallery level exhibition opportunities. Learn how to build and format your resume, present your portfolio, choose the right exhibition opportunities for your work, work with a gallery owner, and write a contract. Students will also learn how to find opportunities online and ways to promote themselves with press releases, a web site and newsletters. They will be shown systems to keep track of art opportunities and how to create an exhibition schedule for their upcoming shows.
This class will provide students with valuable handouts on subjects discussed in class including local resources for artists. In addition students will be given a CD of useful documents and spreadsheets. This class is primarily lecture based with plenty of time for questions to be answered and information shared. There is a minor writing component.
