Crosscurrents: Navigating Toward New Markets

On Monday, March 3rd from 5-6pm, Megan Auman will present a lecture on navigating new markets. This is the same presentation that she is giving at the Society of North American Goldsmiths conference. So especially if you aren't going to the conference this year, catch this presentation at Towson.
See you all there.

Discussion: Doing the Shows- Monday, February 25, 5-6pm

On Monday, February 25 from 5-6pm in CA 2006, we will have a casual discussion about various aspects of "doing the shows". Many of you assisted exhibitors at this past week's ACC show and may have questions and ideas about the shows. I have asked Megan Auman to share experiences from the New York Gift Fair which she did earlier this month which is a very different show than the American Craft Council show that we just saw last week. Megan will also share some very valuable experiences with you all about her experiences at ACC.

You are all very fortunate as undergraduate and graduate students to be able to access the big trade shows and the artists/designers who exhibit at them. The shows are a primary venue for making a living off of your work.....please be smart and learn as much as you can about this while you are a student.

I hope to see everyone there. Bring a notebook.
