“Launching Your Art Career” Book Launch & Discussion | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join us for an afternoon of conversation and inspiration celebrating the release of “Launching Your Art Career: A Practical Guide for Artists.”

With over 20 years in the arts as a Curator, Consultant and Gallerist, Alix Sloan was frustrated by the lack of practical career information available to young artists. She set out to write an encouraging, easy-to-read handbook she could use in Professional Practices classes but also make available and affordable to artists everywhere. With enthusiasm and contributions from a wide range of colleagues, the project grew and in July 2015 she released “Launching Your Art Career: A Practical Guide for Artists.” Topics covered include finding & creating exhibition opportunities, selling & pricing your art, writing bios & artist statements, creating an effective website, working with galleries, managing your studio, setting goals, networking, and more. Also included are an online resource guide and additional advice from over forty working artists and art dealers.

In the spirit of the book, three Bay Area contributors – Ken Harman (Spoke Art and Hashimoto Contemporary), Jen Rogers (Varnish Fine Art) and Mark Wolfe (Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art) – will join Sloan for a panel discussion moderated by Kelsey Marie Issel at The Midway September 27th. Topics from the book will be addressed and questions taken from the audience. Admission is free. Drinks and books will be available for purchase.
