SUMMARY:Business of Art Conference
DESCRIPTION:\nRegistration is now open for the Business of Art conference to be held at Reiman Gardens (1407 University Blvd., Ames) on Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2.\nDesigned to strengthen business skills and provide resources for both formally trained and self-taught creatives of all types, this is an opportunity for artists to learn new business skills and network with local and regional artists. This year, topics will include making art accessible to all, community action and advocacy, sustainable art making, and much more. Professionals and students in all types of creative work in all stages of their careers are welcome.\nRegistration for the two-day conference is $100 for professionals and $50 for students. The registration includes refreshments and lunch on Saturday. For an extra $50 fee, participants may add a half-day photography workshop with Clark Colby. On Friday, March 1 from 9 – 11:30 a.m., join Clark to learn about photographing both 2D and 3D artwork in all media. Each participant will receive 1 – 2 final images of one piece, photographed by Clark.\nFull conference details and registration information can be found online at https://octagonarts.org/business-of-art-conference ( https://octagonarts.org/business-of-art-conference/ ).

Artist, advocate, and mentor, Wells has firmly situated herself within art and advocacy work. She is best known for her public works investigating intersectional social issues.
