How to Sell Your Work

For anyone curious about making the leap to selling their art/work and building a creative business at any level. Join Allison Reaves (of The General Public) and Kelly Schirmann (of OMO Studio) for a two-hour creative workshop and info session on how to make the jump. We will discuss the basics of wholesale and retail relationships, how to plan your creative offerings, and best practices on querying shops about carrying your work. This event brings together the unique perspectives of both artists and shop owners for a session of planning, dreaming, and bringing the work of your dreams toward fruition.
