“I love to create and I want others to see my work, but I just don’t know how to promote myself,” she mumbled, chip crumbs falling out of her mouth.
Does that sound like YOU? Well guess what, it’s most of us (just replace the chips with your snack of choice). Self promotion can be tricky for creatives. Some of us are shy, some of us are too busy working on our craft, some of us have mad skills in one area- such as music or theatre- but don’t know how to design a poster or write an effective social media post.
In this workshop, you’ll get an overview on ways to promote your creative practice, do’s and don’ts with corresponding examples, and promotional ideas for artists of any discipline, on any type of budget. We’ll talk about how to distill your essence to promote your creative brand, methods of sharing your madness, and how to best put your limited time to work for you. You’ll also get a live demo to help you get a profile started in Creative Manitoba’s Arts Directory!
