How To Manage Discomfort & Anxiety In Professional Settings

Presentation & Promotion Skills for Creative Artists by Joie Seldon

Whether you are talking to gallery owners, collectors, or schmoozing at an opening, it is natural to be nervous. For most creative artists, you are out of your element.

Fear and a strong sense of vulnerability is a natural response to self-promotion, particularly when what you are promoting is something you are so personally connected to.

But when your nerves keep you from the very thing you want, to show and sell your work, it’s time to learn some skills that help you . . .

Be more at ease when talking about your work or yourself
Minimize anxiety and increase social confidence
Turn fear into excitement and enthusiasm
Tap into your innate creativity and love of what you do

It takes courage to create art. You can use that same courage to overcome the obstacles to promoting your work and yourself. Join instructor Joie Seldon in a safe environment, where you can learn essential skills to becoming a successful artist.

Wednesdays, 7-9 pm - September 16, 23, Oct. 7th
