The Business of Art During Hard Economic Times Workshop
April 9 – 11, 2010
Conducted by art conservator and instructor Tony Rajer, the intensive workshop will provide artists with the essential tools to develop an art business plan and marketing strategy as well as valuable tips from field professionals in promoting art and prospering as an artist.
