Artist Professional Development Workshop Oct 6 Register

This Fall, in partnership with Visual Arts Nova Scotia, we are hosting a series of workshops for our Arts Community. We are kicking it off with our first workshop on October 6 at the Chester Art Centre. These workshops are free to attend and open to everyone. Please register to help us plan. Coffee and treats provided.

Networking & Talking About Your Work
When asked what you make, do you get tongue-tied and nervous? Maybe you try to avoid talking about your work altogether. Do you hesitate when contacting a gallery about an exhibition, or fear approaching a gallerist about representing your work? In this workshop, you’ll learn how to discuss your work with confidence and how to use these skills to create your own opportunities. A professional artist is recognized by their peers; learn how to build your networks and gain recognition for your work in the broader arts community.
