Course Description
This participant-centered course seeks to help illuminate the mystery of the online realm, especially when it comes to spreading the word about you and your art through the power of an effective website and social media channels. Learn what is working or not working when it comes to your online presence and how to get all your ducks in a row, so your website and social media channels can work seamlessly on your behalf 24/7 so you’ll have more time to spend in your studio doing what you love most.
This hands-on course is customized according to the skill level and goals of each participant. It demystifies the digital landscape, teaching you to craft an online presence that not only showcases your art but also builds your revenue stream. Each student will also get custom feedback and advice on their artist’s website with a free detailed 3-page website (or social media page) audit by the last week of class so you can continue making
steady progress even after the class ends.
Discover effective strategies to enhance your website and social media platforms, making them powerful tools that work round-the-clock. From mastering the do’s and don’ts of web and social media page maintenance to engaging with your audience and automating key tasks, you’ll learn to attract loyal followers who don’t just admire your work—they become enthusiastic fans and with time, potentially new art collectors. Equip yourself with the know-how to manage your digital tasks confidently and/or guide those you hire with precision.
Supply List
Have the links to your website, social media channels, and mailing list platform if you have them. If you only have one, some, or none of these, that is fine as well.
