Social Media Marketing For Artists & Creatives:

Hosted by: The Milton Artists’ Guild

Led by: Corrina Thurston

Time: 6-7:30pm

Day: Thursday, July 12th

 

Most people know how to use social media for their own personal use, keeping in touch with friends, posting photos, etc., but few know how to optimize the platforms for their businesses.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter can be especially effective for visual artists, because the platforms are geared toward visual content. This presentation gives insight into how to best use those and other platforms to increase brand awareness, engage and grow your audience, make more sales, and drive more traffic to your own website, shop, and events. I discuss the pros and cons of each platform, how they can help your business, best practices, tips and techniques, and how to gain insight into your audience so you can create even more engaging posts and grow your audience further.

FREE Workshop – How To Create An Effective Artist Statement

How To Write An Effective Artist Statement:
Hosted By: The Milton Artists’ Guild
Led by: Corrina Thurston
Thursday June 28th, 6-7:30pm
Free (thanks to an anonymous sponsor)Artists of all mediums and levels struggle with the concept of writing an artist statement. Many feel their work should speak for itself, and the reason they create art in the first place is so they don’t have to explain it in words. But an effective artist statement can draw the audience into an artist’s work in ways the work alone never could. It gives the artist an opportunity to connect on a deeper level with their audience, and become truly memorable, which also leads to more word-of-mouth, and more sales.

Using potent examples and tips from actual gallery managers, I explain how the artist statement can be useful, how it can bring about more sales, how it can help someone become more emotionally attached to the artwork, and then give a number of useful takeaways for creating an effective artist statement that can be tailored for each unique artist, and can accomplish those goals.
