Make them care: How to get people interested in your creative practice

Your work might be brilliant, but how do you get people to notice it?

Time to think like a creative marketer! In this hands-on tabletop challenge, you’ll turn your practice into a campaign: find your audience, nail your message, choose where to show up and create a hook that makes people care. You’ll be thinking about the same things that can help you get your work noticed beyond UAL, from pitching your ideas and building your portfolio to finding collaborators, opportunities and the people who need to see what you do.

Then, we'll put your ideas to the ultimate test: can you make someone stop scrolling?

The Art Market: How Is Art Valued?

The Art Market: How Is Art Valued? is an interactive matching activity exploring how artworks are appraised and priced at auction. Participants will match well-known artworks with their estimates and realised sale prices, using clues and market insights to examine how value is constructed in the art market. Small prizes will be awarded for successful matches.

This activity will be hosted by Arts SU's UAL Art Business Society.
