Presenting Your Work to the Fine Art Market
Bringing Projects to Completion
Equally important to creating a stellar and deeply considered body of work are all the elements that surround it: your bio, project statement, website and the understanding where and how to place the work.
This invitational four-month Master Class will include five inclass sessions and one private, one-on-one session. Photographers who have a deeply considered potential series or significant projects underway are encouraged to apply so that they can bring the work to fruition with focused intention. Research, writing, editing, sequencing, artist presentations and ideas for installation will all be discussed and class participation will be required.
This workshop will help demystify the fine art market with lectures on editions and pricing to presentation and installation. It will also be an honest look at how the roadmap to success has changed and the importance of taking charge of your career is critical. Most importantly, we will craft elevated written materials to accompany your work.
Aline Smithson (www.alinesmithson.com) is a visual artist, educator, and editor based in Los Angeles, California. Best known for her conceptual portraiture and a practice that uses humor and pathos to explore the performative potential of photography. Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood, her work is influenced by the elevated unreal. She received a BA in art from the University of California at Santa Barbara and was accepted into the College of Creative Studies, studying under artists such as William Wegman, Allen Ruppersburg, and Charles Garabian.
The goal is to not only increase your knowledge of the fine art arena, but to present yourself and your work in a meaningful way. Weekly assignments will be given. Aline Smithson (for bio see right column) Six Sessions Date: Mondays, January-February 7, 9 am-12 pm PST
