On the day of the event, you will need to LOG INTO YOUR EVENTBRITE ACCOUNT to use the event Zoom link.

* I’m finding it distracting during the talk seeing all of the other participants on my screen. What can I do?

During the event the organizer will put the screen setting on “spotlight view” so that the presenter is the focus on your screen. Depending on your device, you may still see audience members on your screen and changing your setting from “gallery view” to “speaker view” should help with that.

IN THE STUDIO – July 22 with Susan Feller

Susan Feller walks you through what you need to know about exhibiting your artwork.

West Virginian artist Susan Feller approaches exhibiting artwork from a variety of experiences: as a gallery owner, as a juror, as a curator of event collections and online exhibits, and as an artist. This presentation will help anyone in those categories to prepare and evaluate their art for exhibit. Not planning an exhibit? In the very least, you’ll come out with an appreciation for the preparation involved.

An artist’s journey is extensive: from building up a body of work and joining arts organizations to submitting entries to shows and proposals for solo exhibits, and then perhaps working with galleries and museum curators. In addition, artists must deal with acceptance AND rejection of their work. Making art is only a small part of an artists journey.

Using her own upcoming solo exhibit as an example, Susan will address what’s required from exhibit invitation to show opening. She’ll comment on writing an artist’s statement. She’ll touch on guidelines to follow for the various venues available: galleries, museums, events, and even virtual online presentations.

Bring your questions! Possible topics can include: selecting a theme for an exhibit; pricing your artwork; gallery promotion; what jurors look for when selecting work for shows, and choosing images of your work to submit to calls for entry. I bet you can come up with others.

Susan L. Feller is an award winning fibre artist, author, and teacher. She is a frequent contributor to Rug Hooking Magazine and has had her work featured in, and been a judge for, their Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs annual publications. Susan frequently exhibits her work across North America. You can learn more about Susan and see her work at www.artwools.com, or follow her on Facebook at Susan L. Feller Artwools and on Instagram @artwools

Looking forward to seeing you there!
