			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Connections ‘ Creative Business Network’  Meeting</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Thursday 21st July 8pm    </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Email craftconnect@gmail.com for more details</span><strong><br />
</strong></h3>
<p>This website is set up to give guidelines to Artists that would like to start painting professionally no matter what level they are at.  The areas I will cover are the usual hurdles every artist has to come up against.</p>
<p>It will be an ongoing process to provide updated information and I am always open to suggestions from you.</p>
<p>This Website will cover:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Applying to a Gallery</strong></li>
<li><strong>Auctions</strong></li>
<li><strong>Business Card / Brochure / Website</strong></li>
<li><strong>Framing</strong></li>
<li><strong>Pricing</strong></li>
<li><strong>Preparing the Canvas / Treating the Finished Piece</strong></li>
<li><strong>Signing your work</strong></li>
<li><strong>Style / Naming your Painting</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong> and many more&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<br />
</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>If you have decided to become a professional artist then you are providing a product that should be original which makes the marketing of that product even more important.</p>
<p>Once you are creating a painting or art product to sell you are not looking at the market and seeing what is needed;  you are actually making a product then trying to get the market to like and want it.   With this in mind; the painting, title and your details are all part of what people are buying into, so it is important to make sure you are providing the whole package.</p>
