Special Topics: Everyday Public Speaking Skills for Artists
Public speaking is so much more than just wedding toasts and keynote speeches, especially when you’re a working artist. In this interactive workshop, participants will follow Alex Artist over the course of a day as they use public speaking to accomplish tasks like talking to customers at an art fair, delivering a pitch to an investor, sitting on a panel, attending a networking event, and giving an artist talk. Along the way participants will have opportunities to practice skills in solo, partner, and small group exercises.
