Session 1: Exhibitting Professionalism
This workshop is designed to help artists get their work exhibited. I will dispel some of the mysteries of how to submit materials for exhibitions and to galleries. The workshop will cover: resume, slide quality, slide labeling, artist statement, and professionalism. I will also focus on where to find opportunities and how to identify if they are right for you.
