Presented in partnership with Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art
Artist Boot Camp: Social Media for Creatives with Cori Jaye Ettienne
Thursday, October 10 | 7 to 9 pm | Online
Are you an experienced social media user? Or are you just starting to think about putting yourself and your work out there on social media? All artists can certainly benefit from some extra exposure, but how do you make that work for you and your specific arts practice?
In this workshop, you’ll learn how social media can help build your audience and support your art practice. Cori Jaye Etienne will cover the basics, including which platforms are best suited to your artistic career. We will discuss how to work with the intricacies of algorithms, how to reach your niche market using hashtags, and the importance of providing your viewers with top-notch content and engaging storytelling.
Everyone has a different relationship with social media and this is your opportunity to focus on the strategies and platforms that will be the most suitable for YOU and your art practice. Please have your cell phone or tablet handy for this active workshop!
Within a couple of weeks of broadcast, the workshop will be available with captioning at mawa.ca/videos/professional-advice
