ArtTable is expanding its CONNECT program to intimate online discussions open to members nationally across chapters. Originally designed to further encourage one-to-one networking amongst its members in DC, CONNECT transitioned to a virtual lunch hour conversation series designed to allow members to ask questions outside their day-to-day areas of expertise.
During this session we will hear from Hillary Burchfield, founder of Hillary Burchfield, LLC, on her experience starting up on her own and building her business. Topics included:
– Getting the nuts & bolts in place: transitioning a side hustle to a full-time position
– Evaluating your positioning, professional experience, and timing in the art world
– Knowing when the timing is right – the “galvanizing moment”
– Advice on leveraging your network to grow your business quickly
– Thinking currently and pivoting as needed
– Starting a business in the current climate – how to prepare for a launch, survival and success in a post-quarantine art world
