Artstars* Crash Course in Stardom
Getting the Star in you Scene and Heard
With Nadja Sayej
$10 entry
We’re all artists, but few really make it to stardom. In this two-hour power lecture, learn the basics:
· How to find your inner star (where is it?)
· The difference between an A-grade and B-grade art star – and how they treat people
· What is the difference between an “emerging artist” and an “art star”
· How to succeed as an artist financially, emotionally & creatively
· The art of business planning & taking control of your career
· How to get & stay inspired to succeed, rather than resting on your laurels
· How-to promote yourself online, getting press, networking tips, social media and more
· The up-and-coming ArtStars* coming out of Berlin
“Star quality is that extra little bit you give of yourself.” –Lillian Gish
Nadja Sayej takes great passion in teaching artists and journalists how to sell themselves in a time when self-employment is inevitable for young creatives working in a digital age. From workshops in self-promotion to consulting brands and agencies, she has lectured at NYU Berlin, the University of Toronto Art Center, the Ontario College of Art & Design, among others.
Nadja is a Canadian journalist, broadcaster and internationally-acclaimed art critic who is best known as the leader of the new art criticism with her web-TV show, ArtStars*. In her balls-out, snappy Gonzo approach to demystify the inner workings of success in the art world, she has interviewed top-notch art world celebrities like Gilbert & George, John Waters, Peaches, Bruce LaBruce, Robert Crumb, among others, with unmatchable wit and style. Dubbed the “Perez Hilton of Neukölln,” “Borat of the Berlin art scene,” Nadja is represented by 1A Management in Berlin. She reports on visual art and architecture as a freelancer for the New York Times.
