On Friday, Feb. 27, at 12:30 p.m.  the Maier Museum is hosting the Professional Practices for the Visual Artist Workshop. Participants will learn from professional photographer and experienced educator Jeffrey Allison from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA)  about building a career as a professional artist.

The workshop will be adapted to the needs of the individual artists and provide useful insight into topics such as photographing artwork, funding opportunities, networking with galleries and publications, and online marketing.

“Jeffrey is an excellent speaker and offered wonderful advice to the local artists and art students that attended,” said Danni Schreffler, Office Manager & Public Engagement Coordinator for the Maier Museum of Art. “I sat in for most of the workshop and found it really enlightening; he has a great perspective as an artist himself, on working with galleries and exhibiting work.”
