This class is being offered in conjunction with the Five Rivers Arts Alliance, and is being offered for their members. If you are not a Five Rivers Arts Alliance member you are still welcome to attend the class.
Having a thriving art business depends not only on making art, but also on the ability to market and sell your art. This class will outline the key aspects that any artist should think about when developing a marketing plan. From mission to measurement and promotion to placement, we’ll cover all the basics. The framework provided will be helpful for both new and seasoned artists, who may appreciate the opportunity to reexamine their approach to marketing.
