ENROLLMENT OPENS November 22nd, 2022!! 11am ET
This program focuses on sustainable ways to address and enhance professional practices, specifically designed for artist/mothers!
Participants will develop goals to achieve a range of professional practices that integrate into their many responsibilities as artists and mothers. Meeting each week to focus on specific practices, participants will be provided with a wide variety of skills to walk away with such as: developing a body of work, writing your artist statement, crafting a great CV, building your website, and fine tuning interviews and press releases. We will also discuss money and finances, social media marketing, and maintaining the organizational studio practices of documentation and inventory. Many other topics will be covered and you can expect this program to include lots of dialogue as we share tips and tricks with each other! We will not be handing out formulas but will be helping you create the systems that work best for your life and art practice.

Course Process:
This course will take place on the Artist/Mother Network, our online platform created specifically for our community. If you are not already a member, you will receive access to the Network for the duration of the course (which includes many other perks and bonuses). We will meet once a week for a 90 minute zoom call in which we will discuss a wide range of professional practice topics. You will receive manageable homework assignments to complete and we will share our progress. The weekly meetings will be part lecture and part discussion so we can learn together and from each other!
All calls will be recorded and posted within 24 hours for you to watch in case you are not able to attend live.
