CCNY EDUCATION | Salon Weekend With Alice | Autumn 2014 Classes & Workshops

Saturday, Oct 18 & Sunday, Oct 19,
10:30am – 4:30pm (2 sessions)
Cost: $275. ($220 CCNY members)
The maximum number of students in this class is 15.

The nonstop fact-filled weekend includes: an in%#45;depth presentation on ‘inside the collector’s mind’ to better understand the fine art marketplace today, tips on how to deal with galleries, art fairs, and auctions; and information about pricing, editioning and other considerations. Two guest photographers – one seasoned, one attracting new attention – will talk about key points in their career journey to getting their work seen. Other topics include advice on how / how not to approach a gallery, how emerging artists are placed into group exhibitions, nonprofit benefit auctions as a “public pipeline,” and tips how to present at a portfolio review. Because communication with collectors, galleries, curators and other artists is critical, we will discuss your communication tools, both written and verbal. You will be asked to present your business card for class review and your ‘elevator speech’ while showing your work. Limited to 15 students.
