Are you starting off as a freelance artist? Do you want some help figuring out how to get yourself out there and finding people to pay you for your work? Then join “HELP! Starting Up as a Freelance Artist” at Make Baltic!
Cath Garvey is a Freelance Illustrator who has learned from scratch how to promote herself, get work, and what to do when there is no work. At the start Cath had little knowledge about how to start her art business, so now she has decided to start a class called “HELP! Starting Up as a Freelance Artist”. Which is for any artist who needs help getting their work out there.
During this workshop Cath will teach you several steps to follow when starting off as a freelancer. After the presentation, there will be interactive activities where you’ll be able to evaluate your online presence with other artists and ask questions, so bring an example of your work! You’ll leave with a wealth of information and small leaflet of places, websites, apps and other suggestions to help you start out!
