in her own words:

“First, I am not an expert in marketing. I am an artist who wants most to be in my studio! However, because I want to sell my art, it is necessary to also be a business woman. I hope to help each artist define their goals as an artist and share specific ideas in making that sale!”

She will have a display and handouts.

Place:   The Creamery Arts Center

They did however volunteer to present programs beginning in February.

Since January is one of the months off, due to high probability of bad weather, February 7, 2012 will mark the Guild’s next meeting date.

The Committee has arranged a roster of interesting guest speakers, ranging from artists and craftspersons representing different media to business professionals giving advice about different areas needed to operate a successful small business.

Regular monthly meetings will begin in February, the first Tuesday of the month at the regular time, 6:30 pm.

The Creamery Arts Center, Art Education Classroom will also remain the regular meeting place.

This is located at 411 N. Sherman Parkway in Springfield.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Ashleigh Yoder has arranged for a special presentation by Danny Mayfield CPA with ProAccounting of Nixa. He will be providing a short presentation with handouts, but more importantly will answer questions we have regarding small business ownership and taxes. Please come prepared with questions, perhaps written down so we don’t forget them.

This is a great opportunity to learn ways to make our businesses more profitable.

There will be a business meeting following the program.
