Dr. Merritt Shank from Eagle Fine Arts: Important Considerations for Artists After Project Completion

  • Old Hyde Park Art Center 705 West Swann Avenue Tampa, FL, 33606 United States (map)

Abstract:

Most artists are called artists because they know how to produce art. They often go through school and training regarding different mediums and approaches and spend years perfecting their own style. However, part of the art world that artists are often not schooled in is what to do with their art once they have completed it. In this demonstration, Dr. Shank will go over the post-production side of the business. This includes how to approach your work and what to consider for different types of art to accurately capture your work and maximize its potential regarding accurate reproduction and making a profit while you are alive.  

 Supply List: Students only need a notepad and writing utensil.  

From the Presenter:

My name is Dr. Merritt Schenk. I am part owner and operator at Eagle Fine Arts in Tampa Florida. I was brought into the business in 2023 by owner Marshall Cott because of my background in film, art, and behavior analysis. I have degrees from the University of Kansas, the University of the Pacific, and the University of South Florida. Our business focus lies in the field of Fine-Art Replication. Therefore, my presentations will be focused on providing artists with a better understanding of important aspects regarding reproducing their work to reach a broader audience. Born and raised on a farm in Kansas, I moved to Florida to finish my degree, and I loved it here too much to leave. All that said, I’m still a Kansas kid at heart. 

Demo will be in person and on Zoom. See below for Zoom link,
