Artists and artisans speak monthly on some aspect of their professional success both on aesthetics and how they have created successful creative business. Drawn from the community of artisans in the Best of the Northwest art shows and their colleagues as well as others, individuals will share what they do and how they do it. Diverse fields from photography to fine craft, glass to fiber artists, artists associated with nwartalliance.com and beyond share their stories.

So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …
