Description KODA’s professional development seminar program invites practicing artists to benefit from four comprehensive online seminars covering the essential business skills they need to grow their career. In 2022 KODA partnered up with Residency Unlimited (RU) to provide insightful and practical sessions, each lasting 45 min + 10 min Q&A, led by interdisciplinary artist Zachary Fabri, independent curator and online gallery owner Krista Scenna, artist and art handling specialist Lydia Goldbeck, and mixed-media artist and legacy & archive expert Antonia A. Perez.

Seminar #3: Art Shipping and Handling—Demystified and DIY by Lydia Goldbeck
This seminar will explain and detail basics of the industry to assist artists in making handling decisions for their own work. We will cover best practices, do's and don'ts, materials, shipping operations and simple packing options. The goal of this seminar is to ensure the attending artists have a better understanding of not only what will keep their work safe while it travels, but also once it arrives and is prepared to return.
