I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be in Ottawa this May teaching! Really hope you can join me at this incredible clay studio for an evening of talking online presence and social media.
May 21st, 2020 from 6pm – 9pm.
Reg price of $75. Early Bird registration fee: $60 (Early Bird sale ends March 31st.)
LOAM will have the pleasure to welcome Carole Epp to the studio for a Master Class like no other.
Want to effectively use the internet to drive your career in the arts? Then this workshop is for you! Carole will teach you how to map out and establish an online presence that is both efficient and effective for creatives. We’ll begin with the solid foundation of a portfolio based website that anyone can build and then expand to include a number of social media sites and how to maintain and optimize them. This workshop covers content development, context concerns and considerations, and how to focus your time and energy spent online. We’ll also spend some time introducing fun apps that make branding and content creation fun and engaging. Course is open to artists with all levels of experiences.
Expect to come away with new insight into:
Branding, website development, and design.
Different social media platforms for creatives.
Effective and efficient approaches to content development.
How to set up a realistic plan for consistency.
Easy to use Apps to solidify your branding across web platforms.
Building your audience and community through active contribution.
Participants are encouraged to submit their current website and social media links prior to the workshop in order to receive specific feedback on their current practices. Existing website and social media links are however not a requirement.
Contact LOAM to register.
Also happening in Ottawa starting the next day is the NEW CLAY CONFERENCE – why not make it a full weekend of ceramics and the art of business?

residency opportunity: The Artist in Residence (AiR) Program on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia
The Salt Spring Arts Council (SSAC) Artist in Residence (AiR) Program, now in its fifth year, provides an opportunity for artists to work in the vibrant arts environment of Salt Spring Island. The program is open to all professionals working in the arts, in any genre or medium, at any stage of their careers. The intent of the program continues to be the provision of time and space for creativity and productivity for the chosen visiting artists and to introduce them to Salt Spring Island and its arts community. We welcome both National and International applicants to the program.
All submissions are juried with residencies awarded based on artistic merit, available facilities, potential links to the Salt Spring community and associated collaborative opportunities.
Our residents this year are Joyce Majiski from Whitehorse, working on a multi-media installation “Song of the Whale,” painter Claudia Wilholt from Hanover, Germany, working with egg tempera on canvas, and writer Julie Burtinshaw working on her next book: Petit Treason: One Women’s Journey to the Gallows.
As in previous years, as well as working on their own projects, the artists will share their expertise and enthusiasm through presentations, workshops, demonstrations and exhibits, enriching our island with their work and ideas, interacting with Salt Spring artists and enjoying our unique island lifestyle. For information about these artists and events go to; ssartscouncil.com/artist-
The AiR program invites artists to engage with the creative cultural community of Salt Spring Island. Within the spirit of this framework, collaborative proposals by members of the Salt Spring arts community which involve off-island artists are actively encouraged.
In 2021 the annual SSAC presentation Easter Art Show will centre on an exploration of colour, artists who feel their work, explorations, and timing might fit into this scenario should make note of this on their application.
Applications for the AiR program can be submitted on or before April 15th. 2020 for tenure between January 2021 and April 2021. Application information is available at ssartscouncil.com/artist-
