A social media workshop that will explore what it takes to have influence. Especially focused for artists to develop a creative way to create and curate online content for a range of social media platforms. The workshop will delve into the world of content creation, brand association and how to grow an engaged audience.
Discover how to take the perfect image for online consumption, find out what your online persona is and learn how to develop an online voice that is and extension of your artistic practice, instead of just reducing your work to a series of little squares.
