It’s a Hustle Holiday

Relationships, community, and networking are important components for success in the art world  — for both artists and collectors. Stop by Amurica for festivities and fun! Bring some business cards, grab a name tag and a cocktail, and get to know your arts community.

We will have snacks, a rousing game of “Drink N Draw” (for artists and non-artists alike), an artsy holiday craft project, and door prizes.

Please bring a canned food item for Mid-South Arts Against Hunger food drive.

Hustle: professional development for artists is a free program organized by ArtsMemphis, UrbanArt Commission, and Crosstown Arts. The series will provide visual artists with information, resources, and opportunities to support them in the development of their professional careers. Workshop topics will range from positive studio practices to pricing work and navigating gallery representation. Questions? Contact Mary Jo Karimnia at maryjo@crosstownarts.org.

Hustle: Collectors and Collecting

How do artists and collectors find one another? The process can be a bit of a mystery. Join us for a chat about local opportunities, like the ArtsAccelerator CSA. How do both artists and budding collectors benefit from this model? Where and how do collectors get started? And how can we build this culture in our local arts community? Panelists will include Jay Etkin, Whitney Hardy, Victoria Jones and Grace Stewart.

Hustle: Travel and Art

How do artists get to places like Iceland and Seoul? What do they do when they get there? How can you connect or incorporate your arts practice with exploration and opportunities outside of your studio? Your creativity can take you on far-flung adventures and enhance trips that are closer to home. Learn about the wide range of possibilities from a panel of experienced artists: Elizabeth Alley, Eric Clausen, Martha Kelly and Eileen Townsend.

Hustle: Pricing your Artwork

Pricing our artwork can leave us fraught with doubt. How do we decide what our work is worth when we are starting out? How and when do we raise prices? Does it matter if the work is sold online, at a fair, or though a gallery? Our approach to pricing can effect the local arts economy and what others can charge for their work. How do we price responsibly?

Join us for a discussion with Robert Hollingsworth,  Kenny Wayne Alexander, and Jim Masterson to explore various perspectives on pricing artwork as well as commissions and other types of projects.
