SUMMARY:Creative Economies Workshop: Networking for Artists
DESCRIPTION:“What do you do?” – Networking Strategies for Artists\n\n\n“What do you do?” – Networking Strategies for Artists \nAs artists\, we are often asked to talk about our artwork and these conversations can often have direct professional consequences. Whether it be a future collaborator\, curator\, a visiting artist\, or someone who can directly support your work\, there are crippling moments where you will have to not only introduce yourself\, but discuss your work. These situations can lead to the most wonderful of collaborations\, friendships\, and often change our career trajectories. But\, it can someimtnes be more difficult than creating the work itself. How many times has someone asked you “What do you do?” and you left the conversation feeling lackluster? More people struggle with these issues than you can imagine. It’s how to thrive in those situations with a Strategical Social Confidence\, and in this interactive workshop we will both share and practice some of the tools we’ve gathered along the way. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nHow to discuss your work.\nWhat to say when you meet someone you admire.\nHow to get to the thing (your ask\, project\, etc)\nDiscovering and maintaining cponnections\nDismantling ‘Networking’\n\nThis is the third in four workshop series funded by the City of Philadelphia’s Commerce Department. \nInstructors: \n \nVictor Vieira-Branco is a vibraphonist\, improviser\, and blue-collar composer-performer\, based in Philadelphia\, with much of his life spent in São Paulo\, Brazil.

It’s easy to learn\, fun to do\, and a safe way to help out.\n\n\nFABSCRAP Philly needs your help to save designer textiles from landfill! Volunteers will sort through fabric samples and swatches\, separating fabric from paper headers and folding large\, usable fabric to be saved for reuse. We moved to a new space in BOK!

We monitor our Eventbrite registrations closely.
