The Art Encounters Foundation and PRAKSIS invite you to participate in an interactive webinar led by Elvira Lupșa, a cultural producer and art agent.
The webinar led by Elvira Lupșa presents 10 key aspects to consider when preparing a large-scale artistic event. The online presentation will integrate your questions, so send us any questions – big or small – you have about “making art happen.” The call is addressed primarily to young artists, curators, and contemporary art professionals interested in the strategies and dynamics of promotion in the visual arts.
The workshops are free and open to national and international candidates. They will be held online, in English.
