Working with the Market - A panel discussion

Tuesday, 21 March 2023
7 - 8.30pm

 

Plumed Horse- Christopher Brown

 

Join us for the fourth in a series of panel discussions held by our Mentoring Committee, exploring the ins and outs of working as a professional artist-craftsperson. The series will give you thought-provoking insights into a successful career as an art worker.
 
This discussion will focus on working with the market; engaging with existing markets, and finding or creating new ones. Our panel will share their experience and stories of individual successes and failures with you. 

 
Our panel:

Christopher Brown - Illustrator

He has exhibited regularly for Michael Parkin Fine Art , St. Judes, The Fry Gallery, The Fine Arts Society, The V&A, The Royal Academy and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
