Dear Artist,

Do you crave real expert advice on how to make your work more

commercially viable while staying true to yourself? Do you have burning

questions about the world of licensing? Do you want to connect with

other artists from around the world and be part of something very

special? Then join us for Make Art That Sells—the Global Art Gathering.

After three decades in the business I know what’s hot, what’s on

the horizon, what art directors look for and how to apply that

knowledge to your own art work. I will be doing a LIVE review

of art on the stage (which might include your work!) and sharing

the latest trend insight from the cutting edge of this industry.

I have also reached deep into my little black book to gather some of the

top industry experts working today to join us for a series of Q&A sessions.

This is your opportunity to see them speak LIVE, to ask them anything

and get all the motivation you need to take your career to the next level.

Perhaps even more importantly, I have found that something magical

happens when you get together with a large group of like-minded creative

people, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the sparks fly.

This is going to be THE art event of the year, and I hope you will

be part of it by joining us in Brighton. I can’t wait to see you!

xoxo
