PERFECT for EMERGING ARTISTS, and ANYONE who wants to learn how these two artists built a thriving art business in Victoria, BC! This is one event you won’t want to miss.

Anne Bowen and Richard Wong are two well known Victoria artists who took two different routes from each other to build their successful art business.

Join us to find out how Anne’s top three selling methods work to help her sell locally and internationally. She will share her method of finding venues for displaying art with the help of brandy laced hot chocolate, as well as where and how to market your work. Hear how Richard uses his market knowledge to build a thriving, diversified business that allows one to find out who customers are and what they’ll buy, in advance!

Bring pen and paper for notes (no recording devices please), hear their stories, and have a few laughs. Both Anne Bowen and Richard Wong promises to entertain, share and tell all; the good, the bad, and the ugly!

The Day:
Part 1: Art talk, presentations, success stories, best selling practices and more.
