The Business of Art: Andrew Denman I Workshop I Art Business

This three-day workshop is designed to introduce you to what it takes to make a living from your art. Because of the nature of the material, this class will operate differently than many of the SAS art classes you may have taken in the past. The format will primarily be lecture and discussion with an emphasis on class interaction and brainstorming. We will also engage in a thorough writing workshop aimed at helping each participant create a professional Bio and Artist’s Statement. I know that writing (especially about ourselves and our art) is difficult for many people, so please rest assured that I am prepared to work with students of all skill levels. Being a working artist is a challenging occupation that requires competency and skill on many different fronts, the actual production of quality art being perhaps the most important one, but ONLY one of many. Andrew has been a professional artist for more than twenty-four years  and is excited to give you some of the insights he wished he had known before learning them the hard way, to share some tricks-of-the-trade, steer you away from common pitfalls, and help you forge ahead into an exciting future, marrying your passion with self-sufficiency. http://www.andrewdenman.com
