What people say about this workshop

• I attended the last workshop focusing on building a professional social media presence and it was really helpful. It gave me the confidence to know what galleries and collectors expect to see in social media profiles and I got great tips on different apps that I could use to create videos and other content. Nancy was a great facilitator, and no question was too much!  
• I loved the social media info and how helpful it was for someone like me who’s a bit “techno deficient”  
• I really appreciate all your kindness and helpful hints on all aspects of our own media identities as artists and the way we portray ourselves  
• It really helped me move forward with the social media platforms and helped me become more aware of how important it is to make oneself known
