Envisioning The Art Career You Actually Want to Have
You cannot have it if you cannot imagine it. This virtual month-long workshop will focus on the participant’s art and/or life passion, talents, and desires, to create a vision for a the meaningful career/business that they actually want to have. Through a series of self-reflective exercises we will develop an initial planning process to articulate your vision for the art career that is meaningful to you. We will also imagine the first steps toward realizing that vision. Discussions and exercises on the workshop website and through optional weekly zoom discussions will help participants define what success looks like for themselves and decide how to use their personal values and goals to inform their choices.
