Promoting your work is an important component of building support for it. This month’s roundtable features Jessica Burko, artist, independent curator, and arts marketer, who will share her tips and lead a conversation about building support and awareness for your work, marketing and community building.
Using new media, artists can reach wider audiences, build a supporter base, and self-promote more successfully than ever before.” Jessica Burko has been an exhibiting artist since 1985, an independent curator since 1997, and believes that artists can make the most of their careers by taking charge of their own public image. Burko holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. For more information about Jessica, see

The 2010 International Experimental Media Congress coincides with the closing days of the 23rd Images Festival. The first Congress since the storied 1989 Toronto Experimental Film Congress, this gathering will promote ongoing international conversations and provide platforms for creative discussions about the burning issues related to experimental media production, exhibition, dissemination, criticism, pedagogy and reception. The Congress includes dialogues about experimental media as a critical and material practice and its politics, myths and institutions; discussions about media arts’ place on the screen, on the web, in the gallery and in the archive; field reports from the burgeoning experimental scenes of Korea and India; and a showcase of recent practices. It brings together over 50 invited film, video and new media artists, curators, theorists and archivists from around the world for an intense four days of discussions and debate.
Keynote talk: Yvonne Rainer in conversation with John Greyson. Wednesday 7 April 2010, 7 PM at the Ontario College of Art & Design.
