Artists, would you like to
learn more about the Business
of Licensing Your Art?

On August 26th I presented an introductory workshop to 21 artists at Arts at St Johns on Miami Beach and on Sept. 15th, to another 20 artists GroveHouse Artists Gallery in Coconut Grove.

Starting in October, I'll be presenting the continuing 3-part series of workshops on The Business of Art Licensing. In Session 2 we'll focus on creating art specifically for an art licensing portfolio; Session 3: finding and connecting with manufacturers and agents; and Session 4: the legal side of art licensing - contracts, terminology, royalties - how an artist is paid for the use of their art.
The 3-part workshop series will be presented at two locations: one on Miami Beach and one in Coconut Grove. Dates and locations are listed HERE and you can register at any time, but if you register for all three workshops before Sept. 20th, you save 25% (You pay 112.50 instead of $150).

ART LICENSING & MARKETING RESOURCES:
If you would like to learn more about The Business of Art Licensing* but do not live in the Miami area or cannot attend these workshops, here are links to a few of my favorite art licensing people and resources*:

Artist and entrepreneur, Tara Reed. I recommend her ebook,
"How to Get Started in Art Licensing" if you're just beginning and want a broad perspective on what this business entails.

If you're already creating art for products and want to learn more about finding manufacturers that license art, "How to Find, Interact and Work with Manufacturers who License Art" is an excellent source.

If you just want to learn more without investing any money yet, Read the Art Licensing Blog where Tara shares an abundance of great advice and insight into the business of art licensing.

Marketing Info For Artists

I'm the October Artist of the Month at GroveHouse Artists in Coconut Grove, Florida. Hope you can stop by for the opening reception on Sat. Oct. 2 at 7pm.
I'm happily creating all NEW Nature's Energy Patterns & Designs not only for this show, but also in conjunction with the art licensing workshops, and specifically to add to my new art licensing portfolio!
There will be many new images and they are designed to be flexible! I'm happy to print a custom size that fits your space, or to print on pillows, hats, shirts, plates, towels, garden gloves or shower curtains... you name it! (ideally, you are a manufacturer or art director and you simply must have this design on millions of your top selling products! ;-)
DO contact me and let me know what you need.
