The good folks at Art Business Institute sent the above presser over and I'm happy to post it. The seminar topics sound informative. I haven't seen any of the e-course, books or cd's they are selling so can't vouch for them but there probably worth a look. I can tell you when I was just starting out I took an art selling workshop, given in a hotel conference room. I wish I could remember the mans name who taught the course to give him proper credit but it was 20 years ago. Anyway, I didn't have high hopes for the course at the time but I still draw on the information I learned in that course all these years later. Sometimes you need someone who has compiled information from experience to set you in the right direction.
They also have a great website with tips and links to articles worth a look. I really like the artist page which highlights artists with a short interview, pictures of their work and a link to the artists websites.
As I've mentioned in past posts, Art Serve, the venue for these workshops in Fort Lauderdale is a great resource for artist in South Florida. I highly recommend taking advantage of all they have to offer. GL
