As someone who runs a Gallery that focuses on young and emerging artists it has definitely come to my attention how little the University/Art School system prepares their students for life in the real world upon graduation. Well here is an opportunity to sharpen your art business skills and jump start your career.

Ashley Emenegger formerly of Gallery 825 has started her own consulting company Mclean Fine Art and will be conducting a two day workshop titled Art is My Business. Details follow:

Art Is My Business – Making Definitive Plans to Reach Your Artistic Goals

McLean Fine Art now offers Art Is My Business, a two-day intensive workshop for visual artists who are serious about creating and implementing a strategic plan for realizing their artistic career goals.

Dates: Saturday, May 21, and Saturday, May 28

Time: 10a to 5p

Location: Japanese American National Museum, Downtown Los Angeles

Led by Ashley McLean Emenegger, the Art Is My Business workshop encompasses individual and group exercises as well as hands-on instruction in the following areas:

Assess where you are in your career, where you want to be, and how to get there

Through coaching, learn how to effectively speak about your artwork

Market and promote your artwork

Construct an outstanding resume

    also, it is actually amazing to me that this stuff is NOT taught in school. when i found this out i felt bad for the artists that have spent so much time and money on their educations, and who are still in debt years later. i wonder why it has not yet been incorporated into the universities. even vocational schools offer job placement and prep. it’s a shame. why do you (someone, anyone) think this is so?
