Marketing workshop set for artists
Most artists would rather be working in their studio than out marketing themselves.
However, marketing is an important part of a successful artist’s career. An upcoming workshop from the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) will offer tips for artists on how to develop media relations and take advantage of free social media tools to market their artwork.
A part of OVAC’s Artist Survival Kit (A.S.K.) workshop series, Getting the Word Out: Marketing and Social Media for Artists, is set for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 14 at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma Art Department in Chickasha.
Adrienne Nobles, Director of Communications and Marketing for the University of Central Oklahoma, will share the basics of writing a press release and developing media contacts.
Patrick Allmond, owner of Focus Consulting, will give artists tips on marketing their artwork using online social media tools.
The Artist Survival Kit (A.S.K.) workshops are organized by OVAC and sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Oklahoma Arts Council. OVAC is dedicated to the professionalism and advancement of artists. For more information, visit www.ArtistSurvivalKit.org.
The workshop is $20 for general public or $15 for OVAC members, with a discount of $5 for those registered and paid in full by Nov. 11.
Scholarships are available. Registration is available by email at office@ovac-ok.org, by phone at (405) 879-2400, or online at www.ArtistSurvivalKit.org.
