This is the original one day seminar for emerging artists, designed to give practical information and advice towards a successful fine arts career. Each seminar is limited to 20 people per session. The cost is $55 per person and each seminar is seven hours long. It's 100% satisfaction-guaranteed or your money back. We've had incredible results since we started doing this in August of 1999. This will help you as an artist -- the issues covered and discussed are not based on theory, but grounded on actual experience. Please contact the gallery for information about seminars planned for 2002.
