This series of projects is meant to provide an orientation process with artists who just set their first steps in art community. It includes offering artists the opportunities for public relations, critics’ feedback, discussion and exchange of ideas with other artists, as well as information on art markets and career building.

The Artist Workshop is designed to foster the growth of new artists into professionals by heightening their experience in and understanding of necessary field works and institutional devices for artistic communication. Various tasks in presentation, exhibition, PR, critique, relationship with galleries, and artist sponsorship programs are laid out in order to allow artists form subjective perspectives and fully express themselves based on sound theoretical and administrative knowledge for effective communication.
