November 5: The Business of Creativity: Marketing Your Work in the Digital Age |
|
Join us on November 5 from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. for The Business of Creativity: Marketing Your Work in the Digital Age This practical session will explore how creative professionals can use positioning, storytelling, digital platforms, content, and the psychology of human behaviour to build visibility and turn attention into meaningful opportunities such as clients, commissions, collaborations, partnerships, and sales. Rather than focusing on constantly posting or chasing algorithms, the session will introduce a clearer and more sustainable approach to digital marketing—one built around becoming known, remembered, and recommended while maintaining an authentic creative identity. Fee: $22.62 |
| November 12: Selling Your Work Without Selling Out: Sales for Creative Entrepreneurs |
|
Join us on November 12 from 6 - 8 p.m. for Selling Your Work Without Selling Out: Sales for Creative Entrepreneurs This session reframes sales as a conversation, not a pitch. We'll cover how to find and qualify the right buyers (galleries, commissions, corporate clients, retail), how to talk about your work in terms of the value it delivers, how to price and quote with confidence, and how to follow up without feeling pushy. Participants leave with a simple pipeline they can actually maintain and language they can reuse in their next client conversation. Fee: $22.62 |
