VLAA Busines Edge seminars

VLAA CONTINUES "BUSINESS EDGE" SEMINAR SERIES FOR ARTISTS

St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts (VLAA)'s Business Edge seminar series for individual artists of all disciplines is continuing with these offerings:

CAREER PLANNING FOR ARTISTS
Monday, Sept. 21, 2009, 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
What does success look like? This hands-on workshop will help artists examine their careers, both professionally and artistically.

GET ORGANIZED!
Monday, Oct. 19, 2009, 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
For many creative people, organizing the business aspects of their artist endeavors can be a roadblock to financial success. Janine Adams, CPO(r) of Peace of Mind Organizing, will provide some concrete advice on simple organizing systems and will field questions about organizing challenges.

MARKETING & PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION
Monday, Oct. 26, 2009, 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Participants will learn how to market their art with the same intensity they use to create it. Jen Meyer, Washington University School of Art; Kate Poss, Circus Flora; and VLAA's Sue Greenberg will discuss promotional materials and help artists identify the right audience,
position themselves (including pricing), set priorities and stop procrastinating.

OCTOPUS ONLINE MARKETING
Monday, Nov. 16, 2009, 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Why an octopus? Because an octopus has tentacles - and lots of them. Bob Baker, author, indie musician and former music magazine editor, will explain how to wade into the deeper waters of social networking.

The seminars will be held in the Regional Arts Commission's building, 6128 Delmar, which is located across the street from the Pageant and just west of the Delmar MetroLink station. The advance registration fee is $10. Registration at the door will be $15. To register, download a form. For more information, call 314/863-6930.

VLAA helps artists and arts organizations with their legal and accounting problems and sponsors a variety of educational programs. VLAA receives financial support from the Regional Arts Commission; the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
