Marketing Yourself

A not-to-be-missed talk by Biddy Grant about the options available for marketing yourself as a painter, musician, writer, and any other sort of artist in the Hutt Valley.

The Arts Hub Forums are a series of talks hosted by Hutt Valley Community Arts, designed to equip our arts community with useful tools to grow their creative artform in a variety of areas. Upcoming talks include Breaking in as a Writer, Low-budget Film-making, Documenting Art Events, Mind/Body Awareness for Artists, and Copyright, Contracts etc.

We get down to the nitty gritty realities of being and artist in the Hutt.

She has advised, organised, managed and made art and arts projects in TV, film, theatre, dance, visual arts, festivals, craft arts, street performance, events and employment.
