Do you have a cohesive body of artwork at home but don’t know how to begin getting it “out there?” Join Linda to discuss tips and guidelines on getting your work seen by the public. A continuation from her fall lecture on presentation packages, Linda goes more in-depth into a professional and respectful approach to busy gallery directors and prestigious juried shows. She will also cover non-traditional exhibition venues, how to make contacts and get through the door.
