Course Description

This pivotal class is designed to teach basic artwork presentation and marketing skills, including social networking skills. Traditional student-guided SMART (Specific, Marketable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely) goals will be integral to formal critiques and peer feedback. SMART goals define Specific, Marketable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely objectives for the home-based business. Pertinent to the business of art making will be the introduction of web-based sales, social media promotion and blog outreach. In addition to these, students will have hands-on opportunities to help run in the Pop-Up Shop, the Coastline Galleries' new gallery store, as well as participate in all open exhibition and craft fair opportunities provided by the Coastline Gallery. Noncredit. (NOT DEGREE APPLICABLE.)
