I’d Rather Be in the Studio

[But I Have to Eat]

A No-Excuses Art Marketing Workshop with Alyson B. Stanfield

Artists: Would you like to sell more art? We understand that you’d rather be in the studio, but we also know you have to eat.

Join us at the Swope Art Museum in Terre Haute!

Saturday, April 4

9:30 am to 3:30 pm

Alyson B. Stanfield of ArtBizCoach.com understands your need to sell more art and is coming to Terre Haute to give you an entire day of ideas that you can use to promote yourself and sell more art. You can’t make great art if you’re constantly worried about feeding yourself and your family!

• Why your contact list is your most important asset
• How to organize and expand your mailing list

• 12 rules for putting together first-class marketing materials
