The Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland will host a CAA National Professional-Development Workshop for Artists on Saturday, September 25, 2010. The full-day event, called “Marketing and Entrepreneurship for Artists: Maximizing Your Practice,” will concentrate on career-building skills for both emerging and established artists. Workshop cosponsors are two other local institutions: the Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Craft.
Presenters from the region will conduct the workshop, which offers two options for morning and afternoon sessions. In the morning, participants can choose either “Marketing 101: Getting Started” or “Entrepreneurship 101: Taking Personal and Direct Control of Your Business.” In the afternoon, “Marketing 201: Thinking outside the Box” and “Entrepreneurship 201: The Company Perspective” will be offered.
A light breakfast and lunch for participants are included, and a postworkshop reception will take place from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
Registration for the workshop is first-come, first-served. The investment for students, alumni, seniors, and CAA members is $15; $25 for all others. Stipends are available; contact Susan Schear, CAA national workshop project consultant, at 973-482-1000. You may pay by credit card at www.ocac.edu/caa.
