In this workshop Erik will discuss how to streamline your workflow as you prepare images of your artwork for submission to exhibitions, so that you are putting your best foot forward and maximizing your success rate. Topics will include a discussion of file types, how to organize your catalog, strategies for applying to calls, image resolution and size, and the resizing of images using various programs.

This class is free and open to the public on Zoom and is available to artists of all ages and levels of experience. Please have something to take notes for your reference. Pre-registration is required to receive the link to the workshop.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Arlington Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
