ArtKeeper | Developing supporters for your art and practice

Art is designed to be experienced, which makes audiences the most crucial partnerships for artists in the pursuit of sustainable creative careers. Join us to unpack how to build supporters for your work at its various stages, discuss the multitudes of audiences you likely really have (beyond just the person who experiences the finished work!), how to build and work with fan bases no matter the stage of you career you’re at, and more things that might not look like ‘marketing your work’, but can be!

Hosted by our Artist Provocateur for the ArtKeeper program, Wesley Enoch AM, with guest panelists, this will be an honest and insightful conversation to help you gain insights, strategies and knowledge on how to support your creative career. 

There’ll be plenty of time for questions and discussion, and you’ll also be able to connect with other artists and creatives before the event kicks off.

Light refreshments provided, so please register to attend. Artists from all art forms welcome.
