Fwd: Survey for Professional Development Workshops for Artists

Hello everyone,

 

As some of you will remember, we ran a 2-day workshop in February that dealt with such things as writing an artist statement, artist bio, how to develop your portfolio, self critiquing, how to deal with galleries, etc.  This was offered at very reasonable (heavily subsidised) rate of $45.00 and many more Fort Smith artist would have benefited than actually attended, which was a pity.

 

We would like to continue to help arts and fine crafts persons develop through more workshops.  We would like to know what topics you would like to see covered. 

 

Such as:

How to develop a website?

How to present your work?

How to set up for a tradeshow or craft sale?

Grant/proposal writing basics?

More on importance of portfolios and artist information?

Copyright issues?

Please let me know what would help you develop as an arts or fine crafts person and we'll see what we can do!

 

Thanks,

New Exhibit on Display- "Now & Then"

In the Fall of 2005 the Northern Life Museum hosted a workshop to teach students and introduction to digital photography.  As a part of the course the students were shown images of sites and buildings in Fort Smith from the Museum's archives.  They were then encouraged to photograph the same site or building as they appear now.  The finished product is the "Now & Then" exhibit that is on display in the lower gallery of the museum.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

From Now and Then

The Northern Life Museum & Cultural Centre is pleased to have produced this exhibit with the generous support of the NWT Arts Council.
