Topics to be covered at the 3-hour WENDY OUTLAND workshop include:

Business Basics
This segment will address the essentials required to be considered a professional in
the art market (for both artists and galleries).  Will also include tips on identifying those
individuals that comprise your target market and discuss ways to turn them into clients.

Sales 101
Includes Preparation, Display & Presentation of Merchandise, Ways to Approach a
Client, First Impressions, How to Position Yourself, Sales Techniques That Work,
Selling Yourself (Not Just the Art), Benefits, First Class Customer Service, and
Providing the Unexpected.

Consignment Issues and Contract Negotiations
Beyond exclusivity and commission percentage, there are many issues to consider in
a consignment agreement.  Likewise, accepting commissions can be a nightmare
without a proper contract.  Tips regarding fifteen topics are included, plus problems to
avoid, and how to diplomatically handle negotiations.


Galleries 101
This segment provides valuable tips for artists on how to target galleries, both online
and in person.  It will also help galleries look at their own practices through the artists'
eyes and give direction to both parties regarding how to work together profitably.

A Note from Connie Vlahoulis:

"What kind of art do you do?"
- is the question I am asked most often.
I hesitate, since I do not want to label
myself.  If you visit us- you'll see why!
We have something for everyone- and
we hope you enjoy our art as much as
we enjoy the creating part!
