This study hall with Anniessa Antar offers artists dedicated time and hands-on support to build or improve their websites, with an emphasis on the Squarespace platform. Participants are welcome to work in other platforms (such as WordPress or Wix), though most guidance and examples will be geared toward Squarespace. Participants bring their own laptops and existing website accounts and spend three focused hours working on their sites with guidance available as questions arise. Laptops may be provided upon request.
This is a working session rather than a workshop. Instructor will circulate to help participants troubleshoot issues and make progress on their sites. Participants will primarily work independently while receiving individualized assistance. Artists using other platforms are welcome to attend, but assistance may be limited.

Not covered in this session:
Participants should arrive with an active website account, login information, and any images or text they plan to use.
Registration
Space is limited to 8 artists to allow for individualized support. Advance registration is required, and spots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants may be asked to share their website URL in advance.
