Sharing Your Art Online:
A Simple Social Media
Strategy for Artists

Presented by Nat Alves

Social media can be a powerful way for artists to share their work, connect with collectors, and grow an audience — but it can also feel overwhelming or time-consuming.

In this presentation, branding and marketing strategist Nat Alves will walk through a simple, repeatable approach to social media that helps artists show up consistently without spending hours online. You’ll learn how to share your work in a way that feels natural, tell the story behind your art, and create a content routine that supports your creative practice.

Thursday, September 10

Nat Alves is a brand strategist, designer, and the founder of Nat Marie Design, where she helps service-based businesses, multi-location brands, and creative entrepreneurs grow through intentional design and strategic marketing.

Artful Journaling:
Releasing Your Creativity

Presented by Julie Jarvis

Journaling expands creativity by acting as both confidant and coach. It provides a safe space to explore uncertainty while offering structure, challenge, and direction. Through open-ended prompts and regular practice, journaling helps overcome self-doubt, shape ideas, and deepen creative awareness, making us more receptive to the creativity already within us.

In this presentation, Julie will explain that the journal does not make you creative. It makes you fully available to the creativity that was already trying to reach you.
