560 Gallery: Fine Art Photographers’ Marketing Tools

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. Current research provides workshop participants with info and motivation to focus their efforts, develop current marketing tools, and shine in the spotlight.

Sally Buck is an award winning photographer and art educator living in Vancouver, Canada. As a street photographer, she’s interested in public spaces; as a sailor she’s an explorer of dynamic shorelines. Using photo montage as her practice, and photography to investigate her raw materials, she aims to capture the superimposed qualities of transitional spaces, the slide of multiple climates and cultures. Buck earned a Master’s degree in Visual and Performing Arts in Education at the University of British Columbia and a B.A. (Honours) degree in Art History at Queen’s University, Canada. Her photographs and photomontages have been published editorially and exhibited in Canada, the U.S., and Europe. As an art educator, she’s taught art interpretation and photography at learning centres, galleries and museums including the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation in Venice, Italy and the Vancouver Art Gallery in Canada. www.sallybuck.com
