I went to a wonderful class last night at Artmart as a refresher course on the business part of being an artist.  This excellent class was taught by MySLART.org's own Executive Director, Jenny Churchill.  It was only $15, and in my humble opinion, well worth it!  I think as professional artists we can sometimes be guilty of shying away from anything that takes us away from our studios.  However, we have to remember that the business part of being an artist is equally important and worth our just as much investment on our part.  One aspect of this class that I thoroughly enjoyed was the modernization of my business practices.  While I always think it is a good idea to brush up on this stuff, too many books and articles discuss only topics related to showing your work.  While that is important, (and Jenny went over this too) topics such as social media and having a QR code for your website are topics I am less familiar with and need to consider as part of my practice as well.  So, do you have a QR code for your artist website? That's mine in the corner. :) Have you made an artist Facebook page yet?  These are all things I am busy working on this morning.  I would encourage your taking the class and considering what parts of your art business you could be working on and modernizing today.
