Put Your Artwork into a Exhibition! with Mike Dick

Have you ever wanted to submit your work to a juried show but weren’t sure how to go about it? We’ve got a workshop for you.

In this workshop, we’ll show you how to -- Photograph your work so it presents its best self to a jury and meets the technical requirements for submitting. We’ll cover two-dimensional art (canvas or paper,) photography files, and three dimensional artwork (pottery, jewelry, small sculpture.) We’ll also cover the ways to mount and frame a two-dimensional work to properly present on an exhibition wall. This workshop is for experienced and new artists alike. Bring your smartphone or a camera and a tripod IF you have one. We’ll provide the lighting and backgrounds.
