October 19: How to Be an Artist in the Age of Social Media with Natasha Marin SOLD OUT

In this workshop led by Natasha Marin, writer, conceptual artist, and creator of the Reparations website, you'll discuss the components of a strong social media presence, the best platforms for your work and your message, and strategies for creating a compelling voice and then what to do when the trolls come trolling.

In this workshop, led by multi-discipline artist and Artist Trust Fellowship recipient Michelle de la Vega, you'll look at examples of successful artist statements from artists of all disciplines and then revise your own. You'll leave with a solid draft of a statement to use when applying for grants and residencies and as part of your website or portfolio.
