ARTISTS! Arm yourself with knowledge. The Artist's Survival Seminar is designed for any creative person (With a degree or self-taught) who wishes to succeed in the real world of fine arts and commercial art. Art school may teach you the finer aspects of technique, composition and style , but not how to actually approach and succeed in the very competitive art market .With emphasis on the do's and don'ts and pitfalls which almost every emerging artist goes through en route to establishing themselves in the commercial and fine arts world, the Seminar will arm you with the knowledge you'll use for the rest of your professional career. Topics including the marketing, business and exhibition aspects which are never covered in art school, as well as the psychological effects and how to beat the "game" of fine art submissions. The Artists Survival Seminar is both a traveling lecture and "hands-on" workshop where the secrets and unspoken realities are brought to the fore.
