WORKSHOP FOR ARTISTS
TAKING YOUR CAREER TO THE NEXT LEVEL THIS YEAR
Thursday, June 16th 6:30-8:30pm at Bridgette Mayer Gallery
709 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19106
Please join me Thursday, June 16th for an intimate evening with other artists and creative types. I will be pre-launching my book: The Art Cure: A Memoir of Abuse & Fortune and giving a book talk and workshop about taking your career to the next level in 2016-2017.
Specifically, I will be discussing:
• My story of how I got my start in the art world and built my gallery with zero clients and zero money into the multi-million dollar business that it is today.
• MINDSET and things that I did every single day to generate clients, money, press and publicity.
• The mindset that I have continued to encounter with artists that hurts them professionally and holds them back and the mindset that I suggest instead to have the success they desire.
• A short goal-setting exercise to help the audience set up their top goals for 2016-2017.
In addition:
• I will be giving every attendee two copies of my book – one for the attendee and the second copy will be a donation (in your name) to the school district of Philadelphia (I am going to identify a particular school that needs books and art related content the most).
• I am going to start a Facebook group for the 50 people who sign up and do additional activities for the artists on that platform
.
Cost of workshop: $110.00
