Documentation and Applying to Shows with Deon Blackwell

Join Deon Blackwell for a Friday Makerspace Lecture designed to help you take the next step in sharing your artwork professionally. Learn how to photograph your work using your cell phone, with practical tips for lighting, composition, camera settings, and preparing image files for a polished portfolio.

You’ll also explore gallery expectations, different types of exhibitions, where to find calls for artists, and how to tailor your submissions to opportunities that fit your work.

Bring one or two pieces of artwork to photograph and a USB flash drive to take your images home. By the end of the lecture, you’ll have practical tools to document, prepare, and confidently submit your work to exhibitions. All levels welcome!
