Professional Artist Forum: Running Your Art Business in Our New Normal
Wednesday, July 28, 4 p.m.
As we emerge from our pandemic cocoons, artists are faced with a new set of opportunities and challenges to their art businesses. How do we physically reconnect with supporters and colleagues while maintaining the relationships online? How do we continue organizing, managing and marketing our art businesses in the new hybrid lifestyle many of us have built? We are happy to welcome Elysian McNiff Koglmeier of Artwork Archive to talk through these topics and answer your questions. You’ll come away from this presentation with tools and strategies to continue running your art business with ease whether that’s online, in-person or a hybrid of the two. Free program, virtual. RSVP required to rsvp@bouldercolorado.gov.

Take a tour of public art in Boulder with B-cycle! This map has locations of B-cycle stations and nearby public art. Pick up a bike and use this map as your guide. You’ll find sculptures, murals, and artwork incorporated into public gathering spaces.
