Greetings Art Peoples!
This is going be a big update; we have a LOT coming up.
First, thanks to everyone who came out to the seminar on Tuesday. We had a full house and had to even pull up a few stools because we ran out of chairs! I hope everyone learned a lot, met some great people, and had fun. Photos are posted here.
We are going to try to post the video of the seminar, for anyone who missed it. We will keep you updated on that. As always, if you enjoyed the event, we ask that you please leave a comment on our testimonial page: lifeisartfest.org/testimonials

We are really working very hard to create as many opportunities as we can for artists to show their work. We appreciate your patience and understanding when we cannot fit everyone into every show.
