Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.

Over the last several weeks, I have sent you invitations to attend my "Starving" to Successful workshop in Portland. The workshop is next Monday evening, and as we near the date I wanted to extend a special invitation to you to attend this comprehensive art career workshop for free.

During the presentation, I am going to share with you concrete step you can take to prepare yourself and your artwork for gallery representation. 

You will learn:

  • how much work you need to have ready before approaching galleries
  • how to create a consistent body of work and how to organize it
  • how to price your art,
  • how to format your portfolio.

I will also help you determine the best markets for your art - choose the most appropriate galleries for your work in the market, and how to get your portfolio into the hands of a gallery decision-maker.

And much more.

This invitation to attend for free is limited to the first 30 people who respond, so if you can commit to come, please email me right away. There is no catch or hidden fee.
