Making the most of Open Studios

Open Studios are a great way for artists to show their work and connect with the community. Jessica Burko will lead a workshop on the power of arts marketing through social media, email, and print outreach. Artists will also learn best practices for presenting their art and capturing the interest of potential buyers.

Jessica Burko, Director of Marketing at Kingston Gallery, has been an exhibiting artist since 1985. She has also worked as an independent curator, and produced more than 30 exhibitions since 2000.
