By the end of this session, you’ll have a customized summer calendar, a content plan, and a clear strategy for showing up consistently and confidently at markets, online, and in your community. This workshop is designed for artists at any stage who want to feel prepared, organized, and ready to make the most of the summer season.

Key take aways:

A defined set of summer income and visibility goals
A fully mapped-out calendar of markets, deadlines, and promotions

A checklist of marketing materials to prepare before the season starts

A repeatable system that can be used every season
