SELLING YOUR ART, SELLING YOURSELF, & HOW TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING BOTH

Selling Your Art, Selling Yourself, and How to Feel Comfortable Doing Both can be most stressful to many artists. This workshop is designed to help you find your way. Do you "really" know what you want for your art career?  Are you properly planning and marketing to reach your goals?  Is your portfolio ready to show to galleries? Do you know which galleries to approach? Do you know how to approach them? Learn how to best represent yourself, your work, and determine the right course for your art career in this intensive practical workshop. You will be provided with in-depth knowledge and insider perspective of the Los Angeles art world. In this workshop you will be guided through the process of preparation to promote your work and develop the relationships necessary to advance your career.
