Networking Knowledge: Knowing your audiences

Wednesday 9th March
6.30pm – 9.00pm
Enfield Civic Centre - 5 mins walk from Enfield Town train station

£5

This event, run by international artist Noemi Lakmaier and with advisory support from Creative Capital, will provide you with a step by step plan for writing and speaking about your work.  This practical session is about establishing what your practice is (and what its not), and who you want to reach and how.  This event is for everyone who has a practice but hasn't yet identified their audience.  Feedback from last year's workshop - 'Everything was so right!'.

This hands on workshop will give you experience and a wide variety of tips and techniques in understanding and promoting your own practice.  The evening will focus on giving participants a better understanding of what their work is about, to 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 and how to prioritise them

Creative Capital, the professional development organisation for London, will be on hand to offer tips on organisations to approach for further research, and will be introducing their new one to one service for artists and craftspeople.

Artquest will also be at the session to provide further links to their own networking knowledge, through articles on the Artquest website and for general queries for attendees.

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 their work.  The workshop is aimed at providing artists with a better understanding of the impact of how we choose to represent our work.
