Join us on May 12th, from 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. for CAC’s May General Membership Meeting. This month’s program, presented by Lara Sassounian, will focus on current art market trends with an eye toward helping artists utilize marketing techniques and build their own brand. This program is a training course for all artists of all levels, as well as for art enthusiasts and CAC supporters interested in learning about artistic branding and storytelling. The program will focus on marketing strategies for fine artists, covering key aspects such as audience understanding, branding, online presence, promotion, networking, and public relations.

Event Highlights Include:

• Artists’ Marketing Presentation: We know we are excellent artists, but how do we convince the art buying public? What do artists need to consider when going to market? What has remained constant and what has changed with the rise of digital media and the connected world? We will talk about identifying your audience, building your brand, and ways to craft an engaging online presence…and more! 

• Networking and Socializing: Connect with fellow CAC members in a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere. Share your insights, experiences, and passion for art while enjoying the company of like-minded individuals.

• Refreshments: Enjoy light refreshments and beverages as you network with your fellow Club members and learn how to develop as an artist and move ahead with your art career.

There will be a raffle for a free one hour marketing consultation session with Lara Sassounian!
