Ask Anything: A Deep Dive into Being a Working Artist
Friday May 30, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
"I have no more room - How do I find and set up a studio? I want to sell my art - How do I get my work into a gallery? This art thing is expensive - How do I make ends meet? I have so much going on with my family and my life - How do I juggle being an artist with everything else going on? I am not even sure what my art career can be - How do I define success and carve a career out of my passion?" These and many more questions will be discussed in this new roundtable format. David, Milisa and Lisa will lead and engage participants in a lively conversation. These three veteran artists have over 100 collective years of art making experience! They will create a brave space where they will pull back the veil of artists' secrets and discuss the joys, the challenges, and everything in between, of being an artist at any career stage. This newly created roundtable discussion is designed for veteran as well as first-time conference attendees. A robust conversation full of myriad take-aways is guaranteed!

You’re Invited!  
Sunday morning, we are opening up space at Edgewood for Conference attendees to show and sell their artwork!  Think hotel fair, but all in one space.  We will also open the doors to the  public to come by and have a peek!  This is a great opportunity to show our local community what this Conference is all about, and to share your work with a wider audience.   Tables will be provided, but you are responsible for setting up your work and handling all sales.
