Chaired by

Tim Webster - Artist and Chair of Bus Projects

 

It seems being an artist these days is more administration than inspiration. How does tax work?  What business structures are available?  How do you market your work?  How can you build a base of collectors?  Most importantly, how do you create a sustainable practice as an artist and make some money?

This is an interactive panel discussion with expert presenters.  Everyone who comes along will receive an information kit containing fact sheets and guides to services available to artists.

This event is free, but places are strictly limited to 50 people so please RSVP to avoid disappointment
