Sell Your Art , Not Your Soul by Melissa Klein

Program Meeting & Speaker: Melissa Klein, Sell Your Art Not Your Soul
Wednesday, November 20, 1 – 3 pm, Beach Club 121 Marinia View Drive, Port Ludlow
Melissa is a working artist who found out that all the advice she was given as a young artist about making a career in the arts hasn’t worked for her. In fact, she learned that the more she broke the rules of how to make it as an artist, the better she did with sales and commissions of her work. She states, “I learned how to reach my audience and communicate my vision without selling my soul.”

Melissa will bust some myths and identify pitfalls she encountered with following the standard advice for artists and share what worked for her to make the transition from doing art on the side to a full-time, professional artist. Melissa invites attendees to bring a small sketchbook/notebook and pen/pencil for some prompted exercises. Guests are welcome for a fee of $5.
