Storytelling for Self-Promotion - Harnessing Your Creative Voice to Build Visibility and Impact
Radius Gallery
Thursday, July 16 | 6 - 7:30pm
Whether you’re just beginning your creative journey or have been making work for years, sharing your story is an important part of building connections, finding opportunities, and helping people understand the why behind your work.
Join three experienced storytellers as they explore how artists can use both words and visuals to tell compelling stories, connect with audiences, and communicate the value of their creative practice.
Meet the Panelists:
• Daniel Garcia / founder Content Magazine – Editorial Voice + Authentic Storytelling
Daniel draws from years in publishing and writing to help artists develop a strong editorial voice—translating complex ideas into accessible language that resonates with different audiences.
• Ted Holladay / Studio Holladay – Visual Storytelling + Personal Branding
With a background in design and visual identity, Ted will explore how your visual choices—from typography to color to photography—can support a compelling brand story that reflects who you are and what you stand for.
• Ercilia Mederios / Artist + Marketing Professional – Telling your story in media with personality and artfulness.
An Open Studios artist, Arts Council Ambassador and marketing professional Ercilia presents accessible and authentic ways to tell your story.
