Hello Friends!
I wanted to forward you this which is about the business of your art. I went to one of these 3 years ago and it was good. They do change speakers every year.The lecture and panel discussion is with Jackie Battenfield. It should be informative in addressing professional strategy, as well as the following panels, financial planning and the marketing and web presence workshops.
Also please forward to friends who may be interested as well!
Best regards!
