Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately

- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting  in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker. 

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

FOLLOW ALONG...leave your comments and questions.
