This is a 2-part series. Artists are asked to attend both sessions. Gallery and museum relationships are in the midst of a big shift. Access to certain gallery and institutional opportunities seem at once more open and more siloed. In this workshop artists will learn how to seek out and build relationships with gallerists and curators, as well as best practices for communications and the expectations and etiquette of moving through curatorial consideration. Kristen Becker is the Founder of KB Art Strategies, a consultancy providing concrete support to a global network of artists, galleries, non-profits, and arts organizations looking to expand the visibility of their projects and connect with their community. Each session will be a lecture format with 30 minutes for Q&A at the end. PART 1: RELATIONSHIP CULTIVATION: Begins with a discussion of gallerists and curators, what these individuals are like and what opportunities exist through these connections. In this session, participants will receive an overview on how these relationships tend to work, how to set realistic expectations, and how to prepare for studio visits. PART 2: COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES: Discusses how to write to gallerists and curators. This session will include an in-depth discussion of email outreach, organizing your website with curators and gallerists in mind, and digital marketing materials such as newsletter and social media.
