What does it take to have influence? (...social media for artists)

Details

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.

Led by Lydia Cottrell (aka @borkkvlt), who is a Social Media specialist for the creative industries. She focuses on a holistic and artistic approach to developing social media strategies for artists and creative projects. She uses her interest in online space to support arts organisations in Leeds and the surrounding areas. Lydia is the communications and engagement manager for Compass Live Art, Chair of Morley Arts Festival, the Director of SLAP York and Digital Communications Coordinator for Contemporary Visual Arts Network. She has led and supported Social Media Campaigns for arts organisations of all sizes.

These skills workshops have been made possible thanks to funding from the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust

The practical stuff

We are located just off Canal road, in Armley, directly next to Slate’s furniture shop, with our entrance through the blue door. You can get to us easily by driving, walking or using public transport. We also have a free, onsite car park that you are welcome to use.

We are located a 20 minute walk from Burley Park station and a 25 minute walk from Hyde Park Corner and Leeds City Centre. From the town centre you can get to us using the 14 bus to Canal Road or any bus going down Kirkstall Road, or Armley Road.
Assembly House is based in an old mill building which can get a bit chilly- so wrap up warm!
