Space 4 Art will present a CAA National Professional-Development Workshop for Artists on Saturday, October 2, 2010, from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The full-day event, called “The Nuts and Bolts of Professionalizing Your Art Practice,” will concentrate on career-building skills for both emerging and established artists. The San Diego Foundation is cosponsoring the workshop.
Presenters from the San Diego and Los Angeles areas will conduct the workshop, which includes these topics: “It’s All about You”; “Marketing Yourself to Market Your Art”; “Show Me the Money”; and “Getting Your House in Order to Do Business.” Karen Atkinson, an artist, curator, collaborator, and founder of GYST, will offer a lunch keynote on “Hybrid Careers.”
A light breakfast and lunch are included for participants, and a postworkshop reception will take place from 5:00 to 6:00 PM.
Registration for the workshop is first-come, first-served. The investment is $15 for students, seniors, and CAA members; $25 for all others.
