Here is what some art groups said about the workshop...   

"One of the best I've taken. As a gallery owner and an artist, this workshop allowed us the opprotunity to discuss all aspects of business. This workshop covers everything from sales to business plans to cash flow."

"South Cobb Arts Alliance members had the opportunity to attend
the workshop on three occasions in 2008. The one day workshop
afforded our artist members a completely self contained presentation by a knowledgeable, art centric and relaxed presenter. The material covered is badly needed and sorely lacking in the arts community." 

Deborah Karwisch,
Immediate Past President
South Cobb Arts Alliance
Mableton, GA

"The Cleveland County Arts Council hosted the workshop in 2007,
2008 and 2009 The workshops were well attended and very well
received by our members. Irrespective of their medium, all felt they
had a worthwhile, affordable and practical experience. The presenter 
is knowledgeable and the workshop is totally self-contained.
We are planning another workshop in 2010."

"Art Biz workshops have provided much needed business oriented tips
for local artists. As the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (OCAF) Director, I am always interested in educational offerings that make
the arts community stronger. The feedback has been very postive from these workshops with artists saying that Mr. Nelson was a fount of information".

Joe M. Ruiz
Executive Director
Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation
Watkinsville, GA 

"The Art Biz Workshop we hosted was very well received by our members...80% rated it "Excellent". Even though I have been in the business of selling my art for many years, I found it very informative
and fun! It reinforced marketing techniques I've been using and taught
me things I didn't know. Lee is very approachable and did a great job.
I enjoyed it and recommend it to everyone".

"This workshop was of tremendous benefit to both myself and my students. I now feel more confident about teaching art business and pursuing my own professional career".
