“Marketing and More” Seminars for Artists

Linda Calvert Jacobson will once again be offering her “Marketing and More” Seminars for Artists this fall.

The first seminar, “Self Promotion Basics” covers a wide range of topics from designing marketing materials to writing news releases. Also learn about utilizing social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn, pitching to the media, e-mail marketing and more.

The second seminar, “Art Licensing and Other Streams of Income” answers the question “How can I make (more) money with my art?” You’ll learn how art licensing works, setting up an online “print-on-demand” store, organizing small exhibitions, and more.

Each is a one-day seminar held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Linda's studio/gallery in downtown New Braunfels. The seminars will be repeated several times but Seminar I must be taken before Seminar II.

For Seminar I you choose from Monday, Oct. 5 or Wednesday, Oct. 21. For Seminar II you can choose from Sunday, Oct. 11 or Wednesday, Nov. 4. Seating is limited to 8 artists per class.

These seminars will start at $100 each in 2010. Linda's Fall 2009 special introductory fee for each seminar is $50 (or $85 for both if paid and reserved in advance). Fee includes tons of hand outs, refreshments and light snacks. Students will need to bring a sack lunch.
