Practical Workshops for Artists, Musicians, Dancers & Writers
So you want to make art for a living?
That’s great! But wait, what about those pesky details
like contracts, shipping, slides or digital images, websites,
pricing and selling work, finding a gallery or a performance venue,
making demos, filing taxes, or…ugh…the much misunderstood
artist’s statement?
Is your work a distillation of the essence of your childhood experience
manifested in a corporal ideological formula and informed by the search
for naval lint?
Well, um, come take a workshop and we’ll figure out how to say
that without driving yourself (or everyone else) nuts!
