Space One Eleven in Birmingham, Alabama, will present the next CAA National Professional-Development Workshop for Artists on Saturday, November 20, 2010, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The one-day event, called “Professionalizing and Enhancing Your Art Practice,” will concentrate on career-building skills for both emerging and established artists.
In the morning session, Larry Jens Anderson of the Savannah College of Art and Design will guide participants through the ins and outs of producing bios, résumés, and artist’s statements for job applications and gallery presentations. Leading an afternoon panel of artists and professors, Erin Wright of the University of Alabama in Birmingham will discuss such topics as “Getting into Galleries,” “Marketing and Marketing Yourself,” “Pricing Your Work,” and “Social Media.”
A light breakfast and lunch are included for participants, and a postworkshop reception will take place from 4:00 to 5:30 PM.
Registration for the workshop is first-come, first-served; seating is limited. The investment is $20 for students, seniors, and CAA members; $30 for all others.
