Professional Development Workshops Available this Summer |
|
June 27, 2008: To catch readers who are not familiar with Georgia Made Georgia Grown Products and the Creative Economies Initiative up to date, the Georgia Tourism Foundation at the Department of Economic Development leads this statewide Initiative. It is a blend of marketing, education and professional development for the creative industry, as well as innovation in facilitating commerce between creative businesses, tourists and global consumers. The Georgia Tourism Foundation will provide three 2008 deliverables: - an online database of Georgia's creative businesses
- regional professional development classes available for artscentric businesses
- regional business-to-business Expos so that corporate partners will be able to Buy Georgia Made and Serve Georgia Grown.
Georgia Made Georgia Grown LLC produces this website and is allied with the Tourism Foundation as it nurtures and provides significant business development for local artists, craft makers, entertainers, and other creative businesses producing authentic Georgia Made Georgia Grown Products and experiences. Follow the progress of this programming at both this website and the Tourism Foundation's pages. A great place to get a quick overview of the vision and goals of Georgia's Creative Economies Initiative is the Foundation's YouTube video. I have just posted the beginning of a list of Professional Development workshops available this summer. Under Main Menu in the left column, click on Professional Development to read about what is happening near you. Feel free to follow comments in my blog, also. There has never been such synergy between Georgia's Creative Economies and the State! This is the beginning of great artscentric opportunity. Please join us! |

April 28, 2008: The Arts Development Council of Georgia (ADCG) will offer the first of a series of classes on the Business of Art Saturday, May 10th at the Athens campus of Athens Technical College. The two-session class, entitled Price & Promotion, will be held from 10am-12:30pm. It will offer pointers on pricing, promotion, press releases and other business techniques related to the production and sale of art and hand craft. "This is an ideal opportunity for those artists wishing to make the leap from creating to selling their works." Donna O'Kelley Butler, ADCG vice-chair, said, "And will give many options to experienced professional artists, as well." The class will be led by Lee Nelson, the creator and presenter of The Entrepreneurial Artist, and co-owner of The Point of Art Gallery in Union Point, and by Jan Whyllson, artist, writer, performer and manager of Genuine Georgia in historic Greensboro. Both are on the Board of Directors of the Arts Development Council of Georgia, a non-profit organization that promotes the arts through business, economic development and education. The fee for the class will be $10 for ADCG members and $20 for nonmembers. Registration forms are online. Class registration is limited. Fees must be paid by check or money order by May 3. For more information, contact Donna O'Kelley Butler at 706-559-4841 or at
