We’re all artists, but few really make it to stardom. How do you get the solo show? Go to the right VIP art parties? Befriend the people who can help you climb the conceptual ladder? In this two-hour power lecture, learn the basics of:
• How to find your inner star & stop wasting time
• The difference between an A-grade and B-grade art star – and how they treat people
• What is the difference between an “emerging artist” and an “art star”
• How to succeed as an artist financially, emotionally & creatively
• The art of business planning & taking control of your career
• How to get & stay inspired to succeed, rather than resting on your laurels
• How-to promote yourself online, getting press, networking, social media and more
• The up-and-coming ArtStars* coming out of Berlin
