SocialMedia-EBHeader3-600x1200x150
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED AT A FUTURE DATE
How many people can you reach by pushing a button? And do the sheer numbers matter, or the people behind the numbers? Are your efforts in having a presence online better served by being “followed” by a broad audience, or by strategically posting with searchable hashtags towards being “found” by curators, art consultants, photo researchers and others searching for specific visual content? Can you successfully have a presence to satisfy both audiences?

In this afternoon lecture, Mary Virginia Swanson introduces strategies for using social media platforms and empowering hashtags to engage followers with your creative practice and your image archives and ultimately move your career forward towards new audiences. Time will be allocated for Q&A with the audience.

Tickets:

  • $10 AZPA Members
  • $15 Non-Members
  • $5 Students
