Business Development for Artists | Co-op Studios Update
Monday, March 11 | 6-8pm | Free
Hat City Kitchen, 459 Valley Street, Orange
In February, ValleyArts leadership visited the Buyers Market (the premier wholesale show for fine craft) to learn how to present our artists' work to gallery buyers through our own guild booth. We also attended workshops in the business side of art led by the Arts Business Institute. Come find out about the exciting opportunities this new partnership will bring to our artists!
Plus, we will update you about recent developments in funding that will soon enable ValleyArts and HANDS to accelerate the development of the Kelli Copeland Studio Lofts and the first fourstudio co-ops at Freeman St. and Tompkins.
ValleyArts Artists Salon meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month at HCK.
Free admission plus drink specials and half-price appetizers
