Below is an intro email to members of a local “artist salon” whom we will be chatting with on Feb 24th. We keep the costs of such gatherings to a very nominal fee. Quite frankly, as working artists, our money is in our art, not our ebooks. But the encouragement and motivation we generate is priceless!

******************************************

the Artist Salon

I am very excited to have “Art Career Experts” Theresa Brown and Stephen Filarsky sharing with us this month about their successful full-time artist careers and their no-punches-pulled marketing approaches. Theresa and Stephen have recently been holding workshops at Jerry’s Artarama in Raleigh (http://www.art-career-experts.com/). They also have recently released a DVD on “Art for Sale,” as well as “Art Marketing Success Secrets,” “The Single Mom’s Guide to Making Money as an Artist,” and “Resource Guide.”

They are living proof that you CAN make a living with your art and live in the “real” world of day to day challenges!

They have so much to share with us, that we will run the Artist Salon for 30 extra minutes this time.

I’ve attached a flyer with the details:

When: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Where: Studio 28, Carter Building Artist Studios, 14 Glenwood South, Raleigh, NC (just north of Hillsborough St. — the building with the black half-awning over the door.) Thanks to Elise Okrend for sharing her studio with us.

What to bring: folding chair to sit on, $5.00 entrance fee, water to drink (if you want)

Who: Artists/Writers who are serious about getting their art out there and selling it.

Space is limited so you will need to
