Marketing, Ethics of Social Media, and Web Accessibility Workshop
Feb. 2020
ABOUT
Learn the basics of publicity, marketing, and social media with a framework of ethics and social justice. What are the best practices for writing a description of your show, how do you get the word out, what are the foundations for image uses, and web accessibility? We will seek to answer these questions and more in this three-hour lecture-based workshop. You will get suggestions for free (and some paid) tools to support your work, learn key elements of copyright and social media, and general marketing strategies that all artists and organizations can implement to uplift your work. Open to LGBTQ+ artists
