The business of making and selling art is a strange combination of words for many people. Look around and take away all of the things in life that exist because of an artist, an artisan, a designer, and you'll soon realize that business and art do, in fact, go together. The chair on which you are sitting, the illustrations in your daughter's story book, the music that you sing to on the way to work, the pot in which you cook tonight's casserole - all are examples of the business of making and selling art. Yet it is the greatest challenge facing the artistic community - how to move from hobby to business.  This session will review Uniquely Manitoba's assessment program that identifies key areas for producers to assist in making that next step.
