The growing number of media outlets and platforms has created more opportunity for you to share your work, yet it's difficult to determine the best way to market your art or find the time to develop and implement a PR/marketing campaign while you focus on creating work.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Staci Smith has been a publicist for over 16 years with a specialty in working with arts and nonprofit clients, including Bonhams Auction House, the Galleries at Hermès, Cedar Lake Dance Company, and Knopf Publishing. She regularly places clients in national outlets such as The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, and NPR as well as local or niche outlets. Her goal is to not simply seek out status symbol press, but the type of publicity that will actually help her clients reach their desired audience and help their organizations grow. Staci's secret weapon is exhaustive research. "90% of the job is finding the right media contact to share your story with!"
