During February the AHCMC produced two of three scheduled marketing workshops for individual artist and craft entrepreneurs. The workshop “Marketing Your Creativity” was presented by Marga Fripp at the Charles W. Gilchrist Center for Cultural Diversity in Wheaton and the BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown. Marga’s presentation focuses on 7 strategies to effective and successful marketing for artists and crafts people. Artists and crafts people from painters and sculptors, to jewelers and potters have attended and found the workshop stimulating, informative, and on the mark for strategies.  At each session attendees had the opportunity to pose questions related to their specific situation, share ideas and network.

The “Marketing Your Creativity” workshops have garnered high praise from the attendees.  Attendees’ comments attest to Marga’s expertise and the quality and value of the workshop.  These are just a few comments: “a wealth of information,” “stimulating ideas, an emphasis on relationship building,” and workshop attendees were impressed by Marga’s   “breadth of info,”  “depth of knowledge of the presenter,” “very organized, good concrete info and examples,” and “I liked the warm atmosphere and ability to ask questions in a relaxed way.” Marga will present the Marketing Your Creativity workshop again on Tuesday, March 23, from 6:30- 8:30 PM at Glen Echo Park.  You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn how to market the products of your creativity.
