Interested in bringing a seasoned speaker or entire workshop presentation to your next arts conference or summit?
If you run an art or craft guild, arts organization, creative business incubator, or SBDC, your mission most likely includes supporting your artist members and/or creative entrepreneurs in your area.
Since 2012, I’ve been speaking on topics of interest to visual artists launching and growing their businesses. During that time, I have presented at more than 60 professional development training events.
Presentations are available on Creative Marketing, Sales Strategies for Artists, Building Gallery Relationships, Art Licensing, Creating Effective Art Websites, Selling Art Online, and more.
