Kipaipai, meaning “to encourage and inspire,” is a special program that focuses on professional practices in areas of gallery representation and museum exhibitions, self-promotion, use of social media in promotion, the importance of relevant critical writing, presentation, and identifying and strategizing personal/professional goals. This workshop will help participants to immediately build their professional network through community and organic connections based on relationships and shared resources. Through the retreat’s private one-on-one sessions and group meetings, students will have the rare opportunity to meet with a team of guest professionals - primarily from the greater Los Angeles area. They will include curators, gallerists, art critics, art writers, art dealers, social media experts in the arts and more.
