No Cold Emails: Approaching Curators and Dealers Effectively

Don’t waste your time sending "Dear Sir or Madam" emails, copy/pasting messages to a shortlist of social media accounts or shooting in the dark on LinkedIn. In this workshop, we will cover do’s and dont’s for artists looking to connect with art dealers, galleries, collectors and curators. We will discuss how to cultivate interest in your work and build long-term relationships, including tapping into your existing network, communicating with authenticity and strategically sharing career updates and new bodies of work.

The workshop will be hosted on Zoom. Attendees will receive a Zoom link via email.

Proceeds benefit the NAACP LDF.
