Arbeit are delighted to be working with The Design Trust to deliver this free workshop for creatives and creative businesses.

After you have created a better website (see April workshop) for yourself and your potential audience and clients it’s time to get more visitors and sales!

In this workshop we will focus on the 4 ways to get visitors to your website. We will start with SEO (Search Engine Optimatisation) or key words to get found and how to write better product descriptions or pages on your website for your audience and clients.

Then we will look at how to create beautiful and relevant emails and get more people signed up to your mailing list (and why email marketing is 10x more effective than social media to get sales!). Followed by using social media better to get the right audience and more traditional and local marketing techniques (incl. events) to get people to your website.

Throughout this workshop you will be creating your own mini-action plan to get more visitors to your website with better keywords and writing, email marketing & social media.

To Note:

• We highly recommend that you join us for the workshop in April as well to make your website and branding as good as it can be, before starting to drive traffic.

Due to limited capacity, RESERVE a space for £1 via Eventbrite.

A two hour artist statement writing workshop with artist, researcher and educator Elly Clarke. Through collective and independent writing exercises and conversation, we will unlock creative approaches to writing about your work - for applications, websites, proposals and grant applications, and also as a means of exploring and (re)encountering your own working processes from new perspectives.

The workshop is collaborative and participatory, with all attendees strongly encouraged to join in with the collective editing of others' work. Because of this, some time is taken at the beginning of the session to ensure everyone feels as safe as possible, so that the deep, intimate work of writing about art can take place.

Bring a 250-300 word artist statement you already have, to work on. Sharing your statement with the group is encouraged, but not compulsory!

Click here to book your ticket via Eventbrite for £1.

This workshop is suitable for artists at all stages of their career and for the time being I plan to run this workshop every couple of months. The exercises will be similar but not the same so suitable for returning participants.

My collaborative writing techniques draw on my drag performance practice alongside a deep engagement with pedagogy and collective forms of learning and thinking together.
