This workshop is led by Paddy Johnson, a contributor to Black Cube’s recently published book, A Nomadic Art Museum: Black Cube 2015 – 2020. In line with our mission to support the sustainability of artists, Black Cube is organizing this free workshop exclusively for artists to strengthen their professional practice and communication skills. The workshop gives artists the necessary skills and tools needed to build a professional practice. Through writing exercises, web presence guidance, and coaching tips, artists will learn how to attract more opportunities and build their careers.
