. Workshop instructor John Mannion of Light Work, Syracuse, NY, with artist Lisa M. Robinson. The Bigger Picture Launches in January 2011 Professional Development and Creative Workshops for Photographers and Visual Artists The Silver Eye Center for Photography is pleased to announce the launch of The Bigger Picture, a new initiative designed to connect you to the knowledge, training and resources needed to take your professional career and creative vision to the next level. The Bigger Picture's monthly workshops are organized around three tracks -- acquiring new business and communication skills; optimizing digital technologies, web and social media to build and retain audiences, patrons and clients; and finding new, innovative ways to stretch your creative vision and practice. Classes begin this January and are offered at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels. Programs will take place at Silver Eye's South Side facility and at other venues throughout the city. While developed specifically for fine art and other photographers, these workshops are applicable to any visual artist who wishes to better define their strategic vision or attain their creative and entrepreneurial goals. The Bigger Picture is made possible in part through a Seed Award from The Sprout Fund and the support of The Fine Foundation. Become a member of Silver Eye and enjoy course discounts.
