A WEBINAR via Zoom on next Thursday, May 18 at 11am may be of interest to Kerry based visual artists.

This webinar, ‘Generating Sales’, led by Claudia Kennaugh, a Bristol-based art adviser, aims to help artists set up the platforms to sell their work.

The session will reference the importance of how to price your work, building customers, diversifying income streams (through avenues such as commissions, licensing and workshops) and selling online.

The webinar will be of most benefit to emerging to mid-career artists and 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.

The Arts Office will be consulting for the new Kerry Arts Strategy over the coming months. Hannah Pinckheard, Assistant Arts Officer, worked with Alf Desire of Visual Artists Ireland to agree delivery of content in these 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,” says Hannah.

“There are opportunities here for conversations that help build meaningful relationships. By continuing to work with VAI 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.”

“Visual Artists Ireland is proud to continue this strategic partnership with County Kerry Arts Office to help visual artists live and work in the county,” states Alf.  “Our online training programme can provide a flexible and accessible way for artists to learn new techniques and improve their craft and deal with the everyday business skills required to operate their practice and provide them with the tools to thrive in a competitive and ever-evolving industry.”
