Hi again,
Finally, I took a CT (Certify Trainer) in Arts and Crafts from an Art Academy. This certificate allow me now to train and give my art experience to anyone and everyone.
For sure, there are some issues that I am facing, like how to advertise for myself, and my workshops or trainings. Working or partnering with an Art Center is one of the ways to get known and advertise more. But there are many competitors and the art center itself, want to be famous and known more than I do.

Working or partnering with an Art Center is one of the ways to get known and advertise more. But there are many competitors and the art center itself, want to be famous and known more than I do.
Anyway, I found some cafes that can organize art, book, poetry sessions, which is a very good way of adverting as people who visit the cafe' can join and participate in the session. some issues that I am facing now is advertising and how to make the first workshop I will give a success. Some artists or trainers depends on art centers to advertise for their workshops and get large number of trainees. This way, the workshop will be full, but may not be a success if the trainer is not qualified enough, or his subject was not well delivered or interesting or important enough.
Every artists want to give workshops about the basics of drawing, watercolors, or pastel or ..... but the thing that I learned from my CT training that I should have a specialization and not to be very broad . It should be unique and somehow new if possible.
I love abstract using acrylic and oil, but this is very broad or very general and known. I really want to start my workshops and advertise, I don't like to be a part of an art center, I want to have my own studio, or art space to conduct art workshops.
After a lot of search, I found a cafe that take artists with many and different talents and skills to do their workshops in the cafe. I met with the owner, discussed my session and agreed to make it regular sessions if the first one was a hit. We choose a date and a time for the first workshop. I was very eager and happy to start and I bought all the materials needed (cost a lot). And before the workshop date by 2 or 3 days, I contacted the relationship manager to organize the event and advertise.. no one answered me, I called the owner million times, no answer either... It was shocking to me how people just ignored ..really amazed me how people can do that or be such (...).. I mean I met a person (male) a man, a mature person, a manager and an owner of a famous cafe... he gave me a promise, a deal or an agreement.. then all is lost.. How he dose that? ignoring so easily... not answering my calls or my whatsaap... very unpolite and unmatured .. really weird..

Anyway, I was really sad to meet such people and to trust them like this.. but they don't deserve any excuse or sympathy from me at all. I could you know, make a big scene and talk about them (there is nothing like word of mouth), but I didn't want to go that low.. it just amazed me.. and gave me a wider idea of this world and how NOT to trust anyone talks nicely or look nice or be sometimes nice to me.
This experience did really disappointed me and made me feel lazy and unencouraged to look for another cafe or place to conduct my workshops. I found myself painting again.. better than teaching how to paint or searching for a venue to do workshops.. doesn't make a difference now.....
Be Save, Be Creative
