This two-day seminar offers an overview of issues in professional practice and development for visual artists. It is particularly aimed to advise artists and students making the transition from BA or MA courses to the "real" world of professional practicing artists.
A unique feature of the seminar is that each participant will have a one-on-one hour-long private tutorial in which they can focus on issues and questions particular to their situation. It also provides students with a detailed course manual which is a useful long-term reference.
The first session is an all-day lecture/discussion from 10.00 - 18.00, which will cover the following:
- Managing Materials ie CV / Portfolio
- Marketing and Self-Promotion
- Networking and Press
- Dealing with galleries
- Looking for work / Interning
- Useful resources
- Creative approaches to funding projects
- How to conduct a successful research campaign - using the Internet as a strategic tool
We are fortunate to have a special session with guest speaker Sam Chatterton Dickson, who is the director of Sales at Lisson Gallery, one of the world's leading contemporary art galleries, who will be taking about working with galleries.

The second day is devoted to individual tutorials.
Students will have a private hour-long coaching session/tutorial to discuss whatever issues they would like.
