Arts Marketing workshops for artists

Designed for artists looking to ‘spread the word’ about an arts project, or promote their practice. Olivia is an experienced workshop presenter delivering high quality arts professional development workshops across Queensland.

In this Arts Marketing workshop, learn the foundational skills you need to effectively speak to and connect with your audience. 

Arts Marketing workshops are available in a variety of formats and durations (ranging from 1 - 3 hours), including topics such as:

  • Understanding audience behaviour: how do people adopt new ideas, products and experiences?

  • Who is your target market, and how/where should you speak to them?

  • Leveraging your network and activating your ‘champions’

  • The different marketing channels artists can use including media releases, direct email marketing, social media, websites, radio, industry newsletters and directories

  • Marketing and promotional actions before, during and after arts events to nurture audiences

  • Artist statements vs. artist biographies - how to structure these and how are they different? 

  • Marketing resources and tools to build your skills and create eye-catching promotional content

This entry-level workshop (beginner-intermediate) is suitable for artists and creative practitioners of any discipline, with no prior marketing, promotions or communications experience necessary.

Client Testimonials

  • "Absolutely enjoyed a workshop I attended that Olivia Everitt tutored. The workshop was designed to share knowledge about finding and writing grants. I came away with so much information that will be very useful for my local group and myself. I came away from the workshop very enthusiastic and eager to share with my group so we may have success in our future grant applications. Thank you Olivia for sharing and inspiring me."

  • "Recently, I attended a workshop run by Olivia Everitt. Often when you get a room full of Artists it is a bit of a shambles. But what a fantastic speaker Olivia is - clear, strong voice; kept the topic on point; managed the room extremely well; AND did so in a friendly, approachable manner. She quite obviously knows her subject about "Grant Writing" and having listened to her speak - I know next time I need someone to write a Grant Proposal she will be the first one I contact."

  • "Olivia's grant writing workshop was very informative and clear to follow. It was great to see some concrete examples of how to complete some sections of SmartyGrants. She provided a list of useful links which was also very valuable. Would recommend for anyone wanting clarity on what is available to see a project come to fruition."

  • "This is the best workshop I have attended in regards to grant writing. Olivia simplified the somewhat daunting process , provided invaluable support via links and encouraged me to contact her if further support is needed. I feel very confident in making my first application and will encourage more local artists to attend this workshop whenever it’s being offered. I have not only learned so much today but the workshop undoubtedly has saved me a huge amount of time trying to understand the process on my own. Can’t recommend this workshop highly enough."
