Presents Career Strategies for Visual Artists "Pricing and Presenting Your Artwork"

Connecticut visual artists are invited to attend a career development workshop on "Pricing & Presenting Your Artwork" as part of the Make.Art.Work., Career Strategies for Visual Artists program.

• University of New Haven: Monday, January 6;
• The Mark Twain House & Museum: Monday, January 13

This workshop will be led by Silvermine Arts Center's Gallery Director, Jeffrey Mueller. Mr. Mueller will give artists the opportunity to explore essential business skills by walking artists through the process of pricing and presenting work, in a step-by-step method that demystifies these often challenging subjects. Participants will learn the necessary questions to consider that are essential components to their success as self-employed artists. A variety of financial formulas will also be introduced which can help artists price their work. Make.Art.Work. Project Manager Jeannie Thomma will wrap up the evening's workshop with a concise look at how to presenting yourself on paper and develop effective Artist Statement's & resumes.

The program has received very positive feedback from participants. Here's what artists who attended Make.Art.Work's Fall program had to say:
