Professional Development classes are each offered 1-2 times per year. What we offer:

Photographing Art Work
Discover how to take a good photograph of your art even with just your phone. Good photos are invaluable to promote your shows and more. This class includes hands on so please bring something to photograph smaller than 24” for some practice to build your skills, and a smart phone or camera to use in class.

This class compliments “Marketing for Artists Made Easy” for how to use photos for successful marketing pieces.
