ETA (empowering the artist) Artists' Seminar Programme 2006

Eta's practical one-day seminars (February - June 2006) are aimed at visual and applied artists who feel they would benefit from a focussed look at how their practice is presented and organised.

The seminars will help you to:

- focus on your practice and how you want to work
- identify and communicate effectively with audiences
- speak and write confidently about your practice
