Going Public as an Artist: what you need to know to work with a pro

We've said it time and time again: if you are a working artist, you must attend to the business of art. But how do you get your foot in the door? You can work with a professional representative or publicist, but how do you know what to expect? What will they do and not do? What kind of financial arrangement is fair?

Today we are joined by painter/artist representative Francine Kohn and writer/publicist Dana Litoff who will demystify some of the ins and out of the art world for artists nterested in furthering their careers through publicity or representation. As always, we welcome call-in questions at (347) 855-8744.
