Let’s Start the New School Year with #ArtistHotline!

Do you have questions about the Business of Art? We’re all ears! Tweet at us during the next #ArtistHotline on September 21, 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM.

September is a great month for new beginnings, projects and professional development to bring your career to the next level. On the third Wednesday of every month, artists, arts organizations, and arts professionals from across the Twitterverse join #ArtistHotline, a professional development tweet chat. 

You might be wondering how to make that initial connection with a gallery or find a good way to charge for your time, #ArtistHotline is the perfect space to ask your most pressing questions. Artists of all disciplines can join in, share best practices, and get answers to puzzling questions like:

• How do I find opportunities in my region?
• What is the best way to raise funds for a project?
• Should I self-publish my first book?

So start brainstorming questions, and click here for tips on participating in this Twitter chat.

Inspired by the NYFA Source Hotline, #ArtistHotline is dedicated to creating an ongoing online conversation around the professional side of artistic practice. #ArtistHotline occurs on the third Wednesday of each month on Twitter. Our goal is to help artists discover the resources needed, online and off, to develop sustainable careers. This initiative is supported by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
