TEACHING & MENTORING

2023 TOAF Art Encounters Program Mentor

 • talk about your art in interviews
• grow and maintain your subscriber list
 • use social media effectively
• price artworks
• balance communication and pricing on a 2 sided practice: commissioned portraiture + more personal works which is more expressive
• create a professional CV and portfolio • write an Artist Statement • prepare a strong TOAF application
