Event Details
Artists are constantly challenged to succeed in an ever changing art market. How can artists survive the current economic downturn, build an art presence and approach appropriate venues for their work? This panel discussion format will cover practical portfolio building and presentation, methods for utilizing the internet for self promotion and processes for exploring viable exhibition opportunities outside the traditional gallery model. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation relating to these issues.

Panelists: Christ Haberman, Barry Mack, Marci MacFarlane, Mark Smith and Linda Womack

Chris Haberman: www.facebook.com/chris.haberman Chris Haberman is a working writer, painter, muralist, curator and musician and a native to Portland, Oregon. Aside from painting, he has published poetry, journalism and fiction; being awarded the Tom Doulis Fiction award, the Wilma Morrison award for excellence in journalism and is a lifetime member to the Academy of American Poets. All of Chris Haberman’s artwork is created on post-consumer materials, objects, given or “found” on the streets and alleyways of Portland, OR. The multitude of “folk art” images pushed together with words, objects and figures reflects the complexity of our modern life of people, politics, the region, pop-culture, media, music, film and literature.
