Reclaim Your Authentic Voice: Practical Writing Skills for Artists in the Social Media Age

Does social media exhaust you? Do you struggle to market your art or connect with your audience? In the era of AI, Big Tech and the capitalist ideal of perpetual growth, it's tough to stand out without feeling like you're selling out. But what if you already possess a tool that can never be replicated? Your own voice. This interactive workshop explores authenticity in today's digital landscape and empowers artists with practical writing skills and communications strategies to find their voice, take charge of their narrative, and cultivate community online.

This is an in-person workshop. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Feel free to bring in a notebook and your favourite pen! Some will be provided if needed.
