Hi Everyone,
I’d just like to pass along some regarding professional
practices.
PDS. The Professional Development Seminar, organized by Harriete
Estel Berman, Andy Cooperman and Don Friedlich is a four program of
lectures and discussion designed to offer students, emerging artists
and established professionals vital to establishing and
maintaining a career in the arts.
The PDS is held in conjunction with the annual SNAG conference, this
year in Philadelphia. You can attend the PDS without attending the
conference itself. The fee for this informative and dynamic program
is only $10.00. If you’re in the Philly area May 20th, '09 be sure to
attend. To read about the entire program go heRe:

how best to apply to them and some questions to ask and things to

PG And finally, even more invaluable can be found-- for
free-- on the SNAG website. This is the Professional Guidelines, a
series of documents that can help you navigate some of the thornier
issues that we encounter in making a career in the arts and craft
fields. Topics include shipping, insurance, holding open studio
events and much, much more.
