In
this six month program you will learn the ins and outs of the business side
of being an artist.

Setting Goals: Are You Ready? |

Building a Website: You DO have a website, don't you? |

The Licensing Market: Different from Posters but how? |
Legal Stuff: Good contracts are a must. |
Tax Stuff : Yeah, you have to pay it. |
Record keeping: Who did I sell that painting to? |
Appointments with Gallery Directors: Now what do I say? |
Battle Plan: Getting a gallery in another city. |
The Work: The Art Comes First. |
Putting together a Group Exhibition: Getting the space, insurance, publicity, and all that. |
