The Technical Assistance Clinic is for Minnesota artists only. Signing up does not guarantee a reserved spot! We will be in touch to confirm your appointment, but you may be placed on a waiting list.
Update March 6, 2023: Registration for this clinic is now closed! If you need assistance with image editing, please sign up for a tutorial during our regular Resource Lab hours here. You can also email andy@springboardforthearts.org to be placed on a waitlist for this event. We’ll be offering more of these in the future!”
Technical assistance sessions are one-on-one meetings at the Vickie Benson Resource Lab with an artist-educator who will work with you to accomplish a specific technical task from a menu of options. The sessions are an hour-long, and offered free of charge to Minnesota artists.
Tasks you may choose from are related to finances, websites, grants, marketing or social media, and involve side-by-side instruction using Springboard's lab equipment. You’ll receive instruction, feedback and guidance on a variety of specific topics.
Technical Assistants are Springboard's Artist Career Consultants, community artists, and educators with proven skills in the selected areas, and who can help you get ready for your next big project.
For our first session, you can choose from the following options:
- Setting Up a Portfolio Website
- Setting Up an eCommerce Store
- Image Editing for Grants and Websites
- Setting Up an Instagram Account
- Assembling a Press Release
There is no cost for the session, though depending on the topic, there may be required payment to another vendor or service outside Springboard. For example, setting up a website may require you to buy a domain name for a year for $15, or registering a copyright may require a $150 fee to the Copyright Office. We'll let you know beforehand what expenses you can expect. If there are expenses, you'll need to have a payment method available at the time of the session (usually a credit card, debit card or account for an online payment platform such as PayPal).
