Resumes and artists' statements topics of discussion

Sparta - Business of Art Sussex will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, March 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hilltop Country Day School, 32 Lafayette Rd. The topic of the meeting will be Artist Résumés with a review of artist bios and statements. Attendees are asked to bring copies of their most recent résumés, bios and statements to share with other attendees and gain useful feedback. Founded by local artists Sean Holzli, Valerie Ellen Magro, and Jennie Traill Schaeffer, BOAS is an informal group open to visual artists not only from within Sussex County, but from as far as people are willing to travel. BOAS is a group intended to bring artists together, professionals or those wanting to become a professional, who are committed to learn about and nurture the business end of their work through discussions, presentations, and networking with other artists. The founders hope to explore topics such as legal and accounting questions, free promotion, web sites, surefire sales ideas, and resources for artists and develop the meetings’ themes based on the interests and needs of its members. BOAS welcomes you and wants you to feel at home, so bring your favorite coffee mug and a $1 contribution if you plan on drinking coffee or tea. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month.
