CALLING ALL ARTS PRACTITIONERS IN PORTSMOUTH

Outreach at The New Theatre Royal are working with Portsmouth City Council to compile a comprehensive list of all arts practitioners in the city.  To coincide with their major refurbishment programme their plan is to create a cultural hub with the aim of getting everyone networking and collaborating.  The list of practitioners, which will include singers, choirs, writers, actors, dancers etc, will form the basis of an interactive database that will be accessible from their new website.
Considering the number and diversity of practitioners in Portsmouth this is an ambitious project but if everyone gets behind them this could be amazing!
To be part of this project and get your details on the list, send the following information to
Nicola Williams at outreach@newtheatreroyal.com:

ARC WORKSHOP: THE ART OF SELF PROMOTION

Alison Baverstock

Are you doing all you can to get your work seen by those people who can advance your career - the curators, gallerists, critics and other relevant media - as well as potential buyers?  Perhaps you have a website, maybe a blog and you exhibit as much as you can.  But could you be doing more?

In our next free arc workshop, Alison Baverstock will examine the many ways you can bring your work to the attention of the right people - without having to spend a fortune.  She will discuss how to spot opportunities and get into the right frame of mind to take advantage of them; how to evaluate the vast array of online mechanisms that can be used to promote and sell work and how to develop a strategy that is right for you.  Can you afford to miss it?

She has written and published widely about creativity and marketing, and is an enthusiast for exhibitions and galleries, with a particular passion for seeing work in the location for which it was commissioned (anything from altarpieces to portraits in grand houses).
