We’re looking forward to Week Two of What’s Your Story: Personal Branding, PR and New Media for Artists! We had to relocate to a room at Cape Cod Community College last week, but we are all set this week to return to our natural home at the offices of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.
Jessica Burko will present our second session focused on branding: Refining Your Message, Defining Your Targets. Building on Jim Hill’s fantastic presentation last week on Branding for Artists, we’ll be delving deeper into this topic with Jessica.
Jessica Burko has been a working photographer since 1985 and has exhibited her photographic work in solo and group shows throughout the United States. Burko is originally from Philadelphia and currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts. She holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology.
As an artist, independent curator, and arts marketer, Burko divides her time between working in her studio, and working on-site with artists and arts organizations. Recent exhibitions of Burko’s photography based, mixed-media work include: New Voices, Gallery 181, Lawrence, MA; Among Us and Curious, Newspace Center for Photography, Portland, OR; Open Call/Size Matters, RHYS Gallery, Boston, MA; Small Works: Spirits and Shrines, Fiber Art Center, Amherst, MA, and several of Burko’s images have been published in Room Of One’s Own, Vancouver, BC, and in PennMed Magazine, Philadelphia, PA.

Thanks to Beth for putting up Jessica’s slideshow, and to Jessica for developing it. It really helps me to have some reference notes as a memory jogger, since I learn best by listening and often lose information when I take notes (that I can’t read, anyway). I really enjoyed the presentation and have a lot to learn.
Along those lines, due to a sudden family health crisis, I missed the first week with Jim Hill on Personal Branding I. He mentioned this week that he had put some notes or a summary on the blog, but I can’t seem to find it. I’m feeling a little lost in terms of what I should be doing/thinking about before I draft my “cocktail speech” and proceed with the course.
Can anyone guide me to where I can find a summary of Week 1? For example, in Beth’s post on 4/1, she referred to an exercise “that allowed each participant to brainstorm some of the facets of their personalities, elements of their work, and strategic goals and ambitions.”
I really regret missing the first week and want to be able to plug in and come up to speed. Any help or hints will be most appreciated.
Gail – Sorry for the delay in getting the materials out. Beth should have them now, and will be posting them shortly.
Feel free to contact me, or post here, with any questions. I’ll do my best to help.
Hi, Jim,
They are indeed now posted.
And may I repeat: WooHoo! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
I am SO impressed.
