Create Your Artist Elevator Pitch

Moriarty Media, the Arts Council of Indianapolis, and the Fine Arts Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis present: TALK UP YOUR ART: VIDEO PRODUCTION WORKSHOP, 2014

Empower yourself as an artist by documenting your best work and creating a video elevator pitch to be shared online, via social media and more. In this video you will learn how to develop your elevator pitch on paper: keeping it short and sweet; talking so people will listen; selling yourself and your work in a concise and powerful way. Look for Video Production videos to help you create your own video once you have written your elevator speech.
