Digital Marketing for Professional Artists
Marketing your art doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or inauthentic. In this workshop, Nickie Shobeiry will guide you through the essentials of digital marketing, helping you build a strong online presence that feels true to who you are. You’ll learn practical strategies for promoting your work, connecting with your audience, and growing your creative career without losing yourself in the process. As Nickie asks, “When we post on social media, how can we stop worrying about ‘likes’?” — this session will help you shift your mindset and focus on what truly matters.
The second part of the workshop will be a hands-on activity where you’ll start developing your own digital marketing plan. Bring a laptop if you have one, or come with paper and pen to brainstorm ideas. You’ll leave with new tools, strategies, and the confidence to share your art with the world.
