Sally Buck in conjunction with the Capture Photography Festival and PrintMaker Studio in Vancouver, Canada
Creative professionals in a wide range of industries require fine art photographs for use in their everyday practice. Photographers who have good marketing tools can make it easy for curators, consultants, publishers, editors, art advisors, jurors and collectors to see value in the work and help artists move forward in their careers. At this event, through discussion, presentation, examples and hands-on activity, participants learn the most important promotional offerings they can create and use to keep art world eyes looking at their work.
Whether it’s sequencing a portfolio, submitting a project PDF for feedback, engaging and informing online fans, navigating a sale, or acknowledging a curator, the necessary techniques evolve over time. Guest artist and educator Sally Buck shares current, local and international research to give workshop participants information and motivation to focus their efforts, develop current marketing tools, and shine in the spotlight. Fine art printer John Goldsmith describes his experience generating these materials, shows sample printing and online services, and offers detailed information on ways he can help artists take their promotion to the next level.

Her photographs and photomontages have been published editorially and exhibited in Canada, the U.S., and Europe.
