Artist Career Workshop

Artist Career Workshops

by Curator Jenia Yanes

Berlin-based art curator and educator Jenia Yanes invites emerging and mid-career artists to two transformative workshops designed for the realities of the 2026 art world.

The workshops will take place on 21 and 28 February (14:00–16:00) at Kunstraum Heartspace, Danziger Str. 172, Berlin

This two-day intensive is aimed at artists ready to move from a hobbyist position to a professional artistic practice — developing a distinctive voice, a clear artistic mission, a market-aware presence, and a sustainable monetisation strategy through Jenia Yanes’ proprietary hybrid method.

Programme Overview

21 February — Strategic Foundations

• Strategic positioning
• Visual language
• Artistic identity & mission

28 February — Growth & Sustainability

• Monetisation models for artists
• Institutional and independent growth strategies

During the workshops, participants will:

• Articulate their artistic position, mission, and core audience
• Develop a contextual strategy that bridges inner vision and the external art system
• Learn how to integrate galleries, personal branding, merchandise, and digital channels into one coherent strategy
• Navigate the post-AI art landscape of 2026, where authorship, narrative, and positioning outweigh technical craft

Participants will also:

• Gain a clear understanding of how the contemporary art market functions — and their place within it
• Formulate an individual development strategy, including open calls, residencies, independent projects, and sustainable monetisation pathways

Participation fee: €39 per workshop

Bundle price: €65 for both sessions

Capacity: 20 artists per workshop

Registration deadline: 20 February
