SUMMARY:Artist Trust: Monetizing your Creative Practice
DESCRIPTION:About this Workshop  \nJoin NaKeesa Frazier-Jennings (NaKeesa Marie Enterprises) and artist George Jennings for a virtual presentation on building and monetizing an art career. George will share his journey as a visual artist\, while NaKeesa\, his longtime manager\, will outline the strategies they’ve used to grow his audience and create multiple income streams. Learn practical tips\, proven strategies\, and key insights to help you monetize your art business no matter what art discipline you practice. \nAbout NaKeesa Frazier-Jennings \nNaKeesa Frazier-Jennings\, is an entrepreneur and longtime resident of Western Washington who was born and raised in the Washington\, D.C. area. NaKeesa proudly identifies as an advocate for racial and social justice often using the written word to shed light on the many issues impacting the Black community as well as other marginalized groups.  \nHer boutique consulting firm\, Nakeesa Marie Enterprises\, is located in Tacoma\, Washington\, where she provides gentle coaching\, consultation\, proofreading and writing services\, as well as various other types of support to entrepreneurs\, small business owners\, and job seekers.  \nNaKeesa’s current work was born out of her experiences in the community and being immersed in the visual\, creative\, and literary art spaces in the Greater Seattle area for over 25 years. She has engaged with visual artists and creatives in a variety of ways such as providing them with coaching\, crafting artist bios and artist statements\, serving as an artist manager\, having also planned\, negotiated\, and executed group and solo exhibitions.  \nIn December 2023\, she created and began co-delivering a workshop that details her family’s art journey that includes practical tips\, strategies and resources that can help artists monetize their individual art practice.  \nCurrently\, NaKeesa provides exclusive artist representation to visual artist (and her husband)\, George Jennings\, serving as the creative director for George’s Black family art legacy showcase and exhibit titled The Women\, The Paper\, and The Light.  \nNaKeesa is also a published author whose work has been featured in media publications\, books\, and creative and literary projects. In 2024\, she released a collection of guided workbooks/journals that support people in engaging in gentle (self) accountability which she believes is one of the highest forms of self-love.  \nThough NaKeesa engages in many different projects through her business and in community\, as a Black woman she feels that she must first and foremost\, prioritize and engage in an intentional and non-negotiable self-care practice which she does at the beginning\, end\, and throughout each day.  \nAbout Artist Trust  \nArtist Trust is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support and encourage artists working in all disciplines to enrich community life throughout Washington State.

SUMMARY:Subverting Perfectionism Using Ugly Art
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll get close and personal with the mental barriers our perfectionism has built by making intentionally ugly art. We’ll explore perfectionism’s origins\, how this affects our current life goals\, and how making intentionally ugly art can help us bridge the gap between the two by practicing joyful imperfection and teaching our bodies that it’s safe to move toward our goals through imperfection. \nMy goal is for you to leave this workshop with a better understanding of your own creative fear and a new\, fun tool to help you bring more joy\, play\, and freedom into your life. \nSome art materials will be provided\, but I encourage you to bring along that sketchbook/journal you bought years ago and have been too afraid to use\, and something colorful to draw with (markers\, crayons\, paint\, collage materials). \nRegistration Required as space is limited for this in-person workshop! \nOur presenter\, Lore Alexander (they/them) is a creativity coach and freelance copyeditor. For the past three years\, they have been interviewing creatives on their show\, The Ugly Podcast\, to demystify the creative process and encourage people to return to their creative nature—even and especially if it’s ugly! You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts\, and you can learn more about their coaching opportunities here.
