Shenea Stiletto and Kim Campbell will co-lead this workshop called Social Media Strategies for Artists. During the workshop they will share a quick overview of current theory on best practices in social media promotion for artists before opening up the group to a discussion around hot button issues like burn out, time commitment to self-promotion, and how to protect your work. They’ll also define strategies, tips and insights they have gained through their own social media work and also through their conversations with other artists. Join them for this exciting idea exchange and share your successes and challenges from your social media experience.
