Web Design and Social Media for Artists at the Robert Blackburn Printimaking Workshop

blackburn

This fall, I will holding web design and social media workshops at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts.

Professional websites and marketing using social media are necessary to maximize an artists exposure on the web. The technical aspects of the web, what are some best practices, and the ways to ensure maximal exposure while maintaining personal privacy are just some of the topics where artists may have questions when approaching the internet.

These workshops are aimed at both artists who are creating websites for the first time, trying to understand how social media is used to market ones art, and also for those who may have been using the web for some time but want to understand how to improve their site and online professional profile.
