Dear Forrest,
We are pleased to announce the Agenda for the 2008 Visual and performing Arts Seminar.
For individual visual artists, craft artisans and visual arts organizations, two experts in the field will bring new approaches to selling your art in today's economy.
Theatre organizations, regardless of size, will benefit from the expert marketing, promotion and advertising ideas that these expert presenters have to share.
All we ask is that you attend, leaving behind the pre-conceived notion that "We've always done it this way!" and be open to the ideas, suggestions and success stories that you will hear. At the end of the day, leave with new ideas that you can adapt to yourself, your organization and your community.
Let the 2008 Visual and Performing Arts Seminar be the first step in writing a new success story of your own in 2009!
Please use the link at the end of this transmission and forward this information to any artist, professional craftsman, sculptor, potter and anyone who displays at craft shows or festivals. They will all benefit from attending!
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, September 13 at the Center for Continuing Education at Clayton State University!
