When: First Friday of the Month, from 4pm to 5:45pm - December 1st Fee: FREE! Come and join us for the Business of Art Get-Together. Many artists, amateur to profession, have a lot of questions about how the business of art works. NFA figured that the best way to approach this, would be to get a bunch of serious artists in the room and let them interact, ask questions, and learn from each other. Bring your questions and be ready to share your successes and failures at making art, selling art and being an artist. The event starts at 4pm with a short round of announcements - let us know what is going on out there. Anyone who has an announcement or knows of information that could benefit the group can tell everyone. At 4:15 we have a talk. |
