For many small artists, doing the marketing for your own work can feel scary. Rejection from festivals and award shows hurt, and social media can feel like a lot of wasted time screaming into the void. However with just a few budget-saving strategies, one artist — or one artists’ assistant! — can harness the power of the Internet. Join guest instructor (and Pink and White Productions’ own Marketing Director) Jiz Lee at our next workshop on Marketing Skills.
