Career Documentation
KODA’s professional development seminar program invites practicing artists to benefit from four comprehensive online seminars covering the essential business skills they need to grow their career. In 2022 KODA partnered up with Residency Unlimited (RU) to provide insightful and practical sessions, each lasting 45 min + 10 min Q&A, led by interdisciplinary artist Zachary Fabri, independent curator and online gallery owner Krista Scenna, artist and art handling specialist Lydia Goldbeck, and mixed-media artist and legacy & archive expert Antonia A. Perez.
#4: Career Documentation by Antonia Perez
In this seminar artists will learn about the importance of preserving their legacy as artists through the process of career documentation. Artists will learn how to create an archiving system and understand what archiving their work entails. They will learn what materials and tools they may need as well as how to work with assistance in this process.
