With 19 days left until BarcampCHS Jerry and I finally submitted our session proposal. I think it will be a lot of fun. I hope we get to present. VOTE EARLY AND VOTE OFTEN!
If it makes, this will be the official launch of the Articipatory collective that Jerry and I have been working on for years. Keep your fingers crossed!
Here’s the lowdown:
Topic: (Title) Web Tools That Every Artist Must Know
Proposal: I Am Willing to Present on This Topic
Catgegory: Fine Arts
Experience Level: Beginner
Description:
Jolanda-Pieta van Arnhem and Jerry Spiller invite you come (p)articipate and and kick off the first Articipatory workshop for community-centered art. We will present on tools any artist can use to organize their online presence and share their work and ideas both on social networks and the real, physical world. We’ll give an overview of how to build a simple website to showcase your portfolio, and where to host your pictures, films and recordings. We’ll also take you through options for selling your art in online marketplaces, and explore the in’s and out’s of building networks of fans, collaborators and customers on the many, many social sites that abound these days. Learn to make the most out of WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Etsy, BrightKite and more!
Ssssh…they don’t know yet but everyone that attends gets an “I articipated in BarCampCHS” sticker. Check back for the design! Update: The stickers aren’t going to make it in time, unfortunately.
