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. Burko supports artists through lectures, workshops, and partnerships with organizations such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Mass MoCA’s Assets for Artists Program, and the Danforth Museum’s Professional Artists Workshops. She holds a BFA in Fine Art Photography from Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA in Imaging Arts and Science from Rochester Institute of Technology.
