PRACTICE 101: Working with Galleries

Join Arts Northern Rivers for a professional development workshop on 'Working with Galleries’ facilitated by Kate McGain, Roxy Gallery and Grace Dewar, Arts Northern Rivers.

Designed for early-career visual artists, this workshop will share an overview of the arts sector and detail how to self-profile and present your work for exhibitions. This foundational workshop has been developed to support Northern Rivers artists interested in exhibiting their work in and outside of the regions.

The session will share resources for upcoming opportunities such as awards and residencies to help artists instigate and build sustainable careers.
