This class covered all the ins and outs of Etsy: how to go about setting up your own fantastic (and successful!) shop, making a treasury, photographing your work, shipping your wares, coming up faster on searches and MUCH more! Suitable for both Etsy novices and those with a bit more experience.
- SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING FOR ARTISTS:
No, it’s not scary. Yes, you need to do it. Wednesday, July 11, 6:30–8:30 PM
Being an artist is tiring enough; how can you possibly find time to market your work? In this class, we’ll go over the importance of having a strong web presence, including having your own website and blog, and using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Flickr to get your name out there and increase your visibility. Social media marketing can be exhausting and overwhelming, but we’ll go over ways to make it manageable, leaving you plenty of time to make art!
- THINKING OUTSIDE THE GALLERY WALLS: Looking at alternative ways to sell your art. Thursday, July 12, 6:30–8:30 PM
Gallery shows can give you visibility and possible connections in the art world, but they can also take a large percentage of what you sell. In this class, we explored some of the many other options available to artists wishing to display and sell their work, including cafes, craft fairs, local businesses, and even turning your own home into a gallery!
Courses were $20 each (or all three for $50) and each one comes with handouts filled with tons of additional information. All courses were held at the Blue Sage Center for the Arts, 226-228 Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO.
