About this series:
For our July Artist to Artist series, we will focus on helping artists of all sorts get going with online sales. It is complicated to rethink your business plan - without local venues, without the Sunapee Craft Fair, without local presenters, without Art in the Park, without festivals, without the open studio tours in the fall - how can you connect with the people who love your work, and how can you meet new buyers? We will explore the ins and outs of online sales and marketing with Alison Wilder of Wicked Good Web, and wrap up the series with a workshop on how to apply for a grant that can help you build your business.
