SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS (NYC) - CONTINUING ED

This past Fall I decided to enroll in two night-time Continuing Education courses at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in NYC: Business of Art (taught by Steve Cranford at Whisper Branding), and Silkscreen (taught by Printmaker Dominick Rapone). Even though I was half dead by the time I got to each class from all day of work (one of the classes ended at 10:00 PM), I can’t deny that it was completely worth the sweat and tears. Steve’s insights into knowing how to market yourself as an Artist or Creative Business and all the fine details of making a Business Plan were great, and Dominick’s amazing Printmaking talent goes without saying. Although I had previously owned a small Printmaking business (The Active Printmaking) in Texas, I learned a whole new set of printing techniques.
