Artist Business Workshop

Today I attended an Artist Business Workshop hosted by ABaF (Australia Business Arts Foundation) at the Meat Markets.
"Artist Business will strengthen your business skills and help you build a sustainable art practice. This practical workshop includes presentations by industry experts, leading visual artists, gallery professionals and arts managers. "

I've gone to a few of their workshops lately and they are very informative, inspiring and well catered (I don't usually eat caramel slice but tiny ones cut in triangles are hard to resist especially when they are sitting there patiently on a plate, luckily there always seems to be an abundant platter of amazing fruits next to these rather cheeky cakes).

ABaF have lost their workshop funding and won't be running most of their workshops any more, there are a few more scheduled interstate and in regional centres - Arts Business on 20th Oct in Warragul and Exhibition Planning in Ballarat on 14th Oct - if you were keen you could pop out on a Vline for a day trip, it's really not far. They are really high quality workshops and it's worth taking up opportunities like this while they are there, as it seems if things are too good funding usually mysteriously disappears.
