4. Lighting your products
5. Documenting your artistic process through photos and videos
6. And more!

This is a one of several workshops, contained within the Arts X EShip series.

This 3-day workshop is created to meet the NIH requirement on Responsible Conduct of Research for trainees receiving NIH training grants. Attendance on all three days and in all nine topics is required to satisfy the NIH requirement. These modules can also be extended to meet general university RCR requirements. Note: you must also register for Day 2 and Day 3 of this training in order to satisfy NIH requirements.

One of the most important, and variable, elements of securing a contract for creative services is negotiating your rate of pay.  But how do you put a dollar amount on your time and experience? Placing a value on your work that fits market norms, client expectations, and—most importantly—your financial success, can be a daunting task for any first-time freelancer. Join us for a workshop on how to calculate your minimum hourly rate, incorporating factors from your career goals and estimated cost of living, to empower you in future contract negotiations. No prior business experience is required, but familiarity with spreadsheets is a plus. 

This workshop is led by Tom Hughes, who brings more than a decade of experience advising artists, designers, and creative technologists in business development and project growth.
