Native artists and creative entrepreneurs are often invited into spaces like galleries, museums, media features, and publications. However, these spaces do not always fully understand the cultural context behind the work. Being prepared with the right materials can help ensure your story, your art, and your community are represented with accuracy and respect.
Join Sheyenne Sky, CEO of HODZA.mgmt, for this interactive 90-minute workshop designed to help artists understand what curators, writers, collaborators, and partners need in order to properly present and advocate for your work. Through practical guidance and real-world insight, participants will learn how preparation can lead to clearer storytelling, stronger professional relationships, and new opportunities.
Participants will learn:
What information galleries, curators, and media professionals need about your work
How to clearly communicate the cultural context behind your art
The key materials every artist should have ready for exhibitions, press, and collaborations
How to start building a simple press folder that can be shared with galleries, journalists, and organizations
How preparation can help open doors to exhibitions, interviews, and media features
Who should attend:
This workshop is ideal for Native artists, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural practitioners who want to better prepare their work for galleries, exhibitions, media features, and professional opportunities. Whether you are an emerging artist or someone already sharing your work publicly, this session will help you present your work with confidence and protect the story behind it.
