I want to tell people about my work, but I don't know how

Monday 22nd March
6.30pm – 8.30pm
Tate Modern
Free

This session is about establishing what your practice is about, who you want to reach and how.  This is for everyone who has a practice but doesn’t yet know who their audience is. 

This will be a practical, hands on workshop run by artist Noëmi Lakmaier, using listening and drawing to understand your own practice.  This workshop will focus on giving participants a better understanding of what their work is about, to better guide decisions about who you are trying to tell about your work, and why.

Through speed art networking and visualisation of artists’ practice we will work towards:
•    Knowing who you are as an artist
•    Knowing what your practice is (and isn’t)
•    Knowing what you want from future opportunities

Participants will learn about identifying and prioritising opportunities that fit with their practice and come away with a plan for targeting specific opportunities relevant to your work.  The workshop is aimed at providing artists with a better understanding of the impact of how we choose to represent our work.
