Artists Panel Discussion
Artists may find the upcoming panel discussion to be of interest & benefit:
"Show Savvy: How to Prepare, Publicize, and Make the Most of Your Gallery Show"
LA Art Association is hosting a panel discussion with artists at the helm, talking about their own personal business strategies, what works for them, what doesn’t work, tips etc.
I think this is a great idea, because peer advice is really important if you hear it from successful, happy artists who are making a living, or close to making a living showing & selling their art. It is also a great motivator to see how artists are making it work with gallery relationships in a cohesive way, rather than separatist.
Some panel topics will include:
How do I edit my body of work to create the best possible show? What's a realistic budget for marketing and advertising? Does the gallery share matting and framing costs? Who goes on the mailing list? How do I increase my chances of getting a review?
When: Saturdays March 4 & March 11 10:30a - 1:30p
Where: Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825
825 N. La Cienega Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90069
Cost: $60 general/$40 members and students with ID. Spaces are limited & Advance payment is required.
RSVP: LA Art Association/Gallery 825
(310) 652-8272 www.laaa.org
LA Art Association has been around for 80 years & there are still tons of people who don't know about them. They are a non-profit artists organization that offers its' juried members exhibition opportunities, panel discussions, gallery placement, art sales, hash sessions & more.
I have found that working with a few artists who happened to be members are successful artists too. Of course with every organization, you have to know how to use their benefits - which there are many at LAAA. Some of you may know about Gallery 825, which is the LAAA gallery on La Cienega.
In a recent & wise decision, LAAA is redirecting their indentity toward the organization side, rather than the gallery, since they offer so much more for artists than a gallery due to their non-profit & organization status.
