Work­shop partic­i­pants will consider their short and long term goals for working with a gallery, then will build their own press packet for gallery distri­b­u­tion that will help them rise to the top of an open call or maybe even intro­duce them­selves to a space that isn’t offer­ing open calls. Partic­i­pants will share images, super short bios and concise work state­ments. Each will receive person­al­ized feed­back on their mate­ri­als to help build a posi­tive first impres­sion. We will also discuss to whom, how, and when to send these mate­ri­als and best prac­tices for follow­ing up to both a rejec­tion and an acceptance.
