About this Event

In this dynamic 2-hour workshop, Jasper breaks down what’s actually happening across social media right now — from Instagram and TikTok to emerging platform shifts — and helps artists decide where to focus their energy for growth and conversions to sales. Designed for artists at all levels, this session demystifies algorithms, platform trends, audience behavior, and content strategy so you can stop guessing and start posting with intention. You’ll leave with clarity, direction, and a strategic plan tailored to your art practice and goals.

Participants are encouraged to bring supplies for taking notes. The workshop is located at the Block Community Hub located in the 1955 Broadway building in Uptown Oakland. Please enter through the Black Cultural Zone entrance (two doors to the left of 1955 Broadway). There will be signs to guide you. There are ample parking garage options near the event space like Franklin Plaza Garage, Telegraph Plaza Public Parking, or street parking.

This workshop is part of Oakland Art Murmur and East Bay Open Studios Artist Professional Development series designed to provide tools and insights to help artists navigate the art world while also making community connections within the East Bay’s vibrant artist scene.

SEE ART this June 6 - 7 & 13 - 14 at East Bay Open Studios (EBOS). Hosted by Oakland Art Murmur, East Bay Open Studios is a multi-weekend event that invites the public to experience art where it happens—inside artist studios, galleries, cultural hubs, and unexpected spaces. Since its inception, EBOS has been a free, family-friendly, self-guided tour showcasing the diverse creative talent of the East Bay (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties).

Each year, EBOS connects hundreds of artists with thousands of visitors across 12 cities, offering an immersive look into the work of painters, sculptors, ceramicists, glass and metal artists, fiber artists, and multimedia creators. More than an art event, EBOS sustains visual culture, fosters creative placemaking, and deepens appreciation for the region’s rich artistic communities.
