These workshops are part of a professional development series designed to support visual artists in CT who are actively showing and selling artwork in pursuit of a professional career as an artist. Artists may choose to register for one or both workshops. Tickets are $28 each or $56 for the full day. Boxed lunch tickets are an additional $10.
