Last Call for the Blogging Workshop

September 22, 2008

The much awaited Blogging with WordPress for Creative Professionals at the ASTA workshop is coming up very soon (October 3 & 4)! This is going to be an awesome two days all about online marketing through blogging – and with attendees flying in from all over the country, you can bet it is going to be good!

As part of a marathon of workshops in the beginning of October, the evening before the blogging workshop (October 2 – 6-9pm), Alyson B. Stanfield, the Art Biz Coach, and author of I’d Rather Be in the Studio! will be giving a one night only workshop designed to “give you inspiration and motivation, along with ideas that you can use to promote yourself and sell more art.” For more information, go have a look at Alyson’s introduction to the program. ONLY 2 SEATS LEFT!

Directly after the Blogging Workshop (October 5 – 7), Marilyn has scheduled a Beginner’s workshop for Corel Painter – the Fall Painter Blast. This one is going to be a lot of fun (and is already sold out).

Registration for both open events is available in the Digital Painting Shop – limited spots left, so run over and make your reservation before the seats run out!
