This month's EBSQ Live:
Writing For Artists
hosted by EBSQ Self-Representing Artists
Monday, January 8th, at 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific)
EBSQ Chat Room
"P is for Pencil" by Peggy Garr
Does the thought of having to write about yourself or your art make your palms go sweaty? Is it something that you simply do not feel comfortable doing? Do you wonder why you should do it at all or if it even makes a difference? If any of this applies to you or you have any other concerns or questions about bios, artist statements or any other writing you are asked to do in the course of showing and selling your work, then this is one LIVE you should attend. This type of writing is a particularly important ability when your art will be viewed on online. A computer monitor strips a work of scale, texture and context and your words can make all the difference in how it is perceived. In addition to the why's, we will also cover the how's so you can feel more confident using words to help you connect with your audience and create more interest in you and your art. Questions and insights are welcome and encouraged so please join us for this month's LIVE.
LIVE! is open to members and non-members and we encourage all who are interested to attend. The evening starts at promptly at 9 PM EST so be sure to arrive a few minutes early.

EBSQ Live! Procedures
You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking
on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname
and select "login."
When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started.
During Live! presentations please refrain from saying
"Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone
leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive
to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit
for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!
As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements
and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has
10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards
before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may
be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on
to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be
taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free
to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and
want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for
the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.
Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However,
you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations
so sit back and soak in the information.
EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct
This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct
should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior
will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from
the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This
is not debatable.
If you have an area of expertise
and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future
EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
