Creating and Implementing An Authentic Social Presence

This workshop will explore how to write an artist bio and use it to inform the creation of a marketing and content plan for your social media. Through a series of guided questions about you, your practice, and your artwork, we will develop a bio to use as a starting point to establish clear goals for your online presence. We will build a two-week content plan that is attainable, adaptable, and honours your individual comfort level and skill set, while showcasing different types of content in a way that feels authentic to you and your practice.
