Your own site to see

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council invites you to Create Your Own Artist Website with WPFolio & WordPress, a hands-on workshop led by Michael Mandiberg, artist, designer & educator.

Workshop 1: Wednesday, May 25, 6:30-8:30pm
Workshop 2: Thursday, May 26, 6:30-8:30pm

Note: Workshop 1 and Workshop 2 are NOT SEQUENTIAL. The same workshop is being offered twice to allow for more artists to participate. 

This workshop will provide artists with the basic skills to create, update and maintain a personal website with WPFolio, a free and open source website theme on WordPress. Step-by-step instructions will be provided to install and configure a portfolio website while participants follow along on their personal laptops. At the end of this two-hour workshop, participants will be able to leave with a basic, working portfolio site, ready to be updated with future contents.

WPFolio is built by media artist Steve Lambert and a team of open source developers and designed for artists like you.

Registration and selection:

Two workshops will be offered, each accommodating 30 artists, selected by lottery. Registration for the lottery is required.
