En Foco's Professional Development Workshop series presents:
Motivation, Marketing and Moxie
Geared towards marketing, this two-hour workshop is designed for artists who are ready to take control of their careers and move towards their goals at a swift pace. The goal is to help artists get clear about their goals, understand what actions they need to take for their careers, and keep them on track and moving forward at a brisk pace. Get right down to business on an in-depth analysis of art business to figure out exactly what needs to be fine-tuned and streamlined in order to attract more buyers for their work. This seminar is a brand-new En Foco offering, presented by Charlie Grosso and Kesha Bruce, founders of Baang & Burne Contemporary (and En Foco's awardees of New Works #11).
Topics include:
• How to set concrete career goals and figure what steps to take first;

• Strategies on saving time and money with free or low-cost resources;
• How to prepare marketing materials for approaching commercial art galleries.

Charlie Grosso, a Chinese-American woman with a male Italian name, was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and grew up in Los Angeles. After earning a BA in Theater Design from the University of Southern California, she took a leap of faith and switched gears to forge a career as a photographer. Combining her tenacious work ethic with her whip-smart business acumen, she not only built an enviable career as a commercial photographer, she has continued to garner wide acclaim for her Fine Art photography, exhibiting nationally and internationally. Over the past twelve years her ongoing, epic photographic series, Wok the Dog, a photo exposé of food markets around the globe, has taken her around the world and back. Charlie was En Foco’s New Works Photography Fellowship awardee in 2007.
