How can you get your work noticed by the public? How can you develop a market to sell your work? How should I contact a gallery or museum?
This workshop will give you practical steps and ideas on marketing your artwork. Judy will cover such practical topics as:

Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and create your own marketing plan. Write and critique artist statements, bios and resumes in a supportive, encouraging setting.
