| 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 #2: Creating Connections and Collectors by Krista Scenna Designed specifically for mid-career artists, this workshop will explore how to connect (and re-connect) with a broader audience of supporters and potential collectors of your work. Our discussion will include insights about communications, sales, leveraging digital and IRL connections and incorporating personal style. Participants are encouraged to bring and share their questions for the Q&A session to address specific concerns and scenarios.
