Webinar will help artists to market their work

Art’s the style: Tricia O’Connor, K-Fest and Noel Kelly, CEO, VAI

A webinar via Zoom on Thursday next, May 18, will be of interest to Kerry based visual artists as it aims to help them to set up the platforms to sell their work.

This event, Generating Sales, is led by Claudia Kennaugh, a Bristol-based art adviser and the session will reference the importance of how to price work, building customers, diversifying income streams and selling online.

The webinar, which will commence at 11.00am, will be of most benefit to emerging to mid-career artists and it is free for Kerry based visual artists

Delivered in partnership with VAI and supported by both Kerry County Council and the Arts Council, under a framework for collaboration between the local authority and the Arts Council, this targeted support arose from the implementation of the Kerry Arts Strategy 2016-2022.

Kerry County Council’s Assistant Arts Officer, Hannah Pinckheard, worked with Alf Desire of Visual Artists Ireland to agree delivery of content in the sessions that suited local needs and national matters for the sector.

“The feedback from previous VAI events highlights a desire for artists to connect more deeply with each other,” she said.

“There are opportunities here for conversations that help build meaningful relationships. By continuing to work to develop digital programmes like this, we can offer an eco-system of support and opportunity for artists where advice and expertise for creative practitioners is offered,” Hannah added.
