How Art Careers Happen Now

I wanted to let everyone know about my new in-person workshop for San Francisco Bay Area artists! Sign up through Marin MOCA (marinmoca.org/class24). 

How Art Careers Happen Now
Thursday, September 11; 1pm - 3:45 pm
Where: Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, 1210 Fifth Avenue, San Rafael (at B Street)

The professional landscape for artists can be confusing. Many artists wonder what success looks and feels like now, and what they need to do to break through all the noise.

In this interactive workshop artists will learn how to examine their own career goals and progress, identify their biggest challenges, and plan their next steps. Mary will provide an overview of the ways current emerging, mid-career and established artists are making progress in their careers.

An artist who took an earlier version of the workshop said: "The handouts alone from this great class guided my career for six months!"

Here's what you will learn:

• how galleries and museums find artists and what artists can do to connect with them
• the skills, experiences, and credentials that are most important now
• what an artist should look for in a gallery
• find out what it takes to get a museum show
• figure out whether a social media presence is essential for your own career progress

Let me know if you have questions about this workshop. 

Fee: MarinMOCA Members $95; Non-Members $110
