ARTIST CAFE
Cottonwood is excited to host ongoing community discussions exploring the business of art. Local gallery curators, art scene mavens, and artists of all experience levels will have an informal, round table conversation about what it takes to be a professional artist. Please join us and be a part of the discussion!
You can look forward to learning about a diversity of topics from guest presenters, and enjoy coffee and libations, and more exciting surprises. Space is limited—sign up for the date you want ahead of time to reserve your spot!

pricing your work
Assigning a monetary value to your art work can feel icky—let us help you take the emotion out of the transaction! This topic is requested so often we cover it at least once a year. Come find out how other artists figure it out, and share your experiences with the group.
REGISTER NOW: SATURDAY | JULY 18 | 1 pm to 2:30 pm | $5
process your own sales
Intimidated by Venmo, Square, Etsy, sales taxes, or making a DIY website? When does it serve you to have a gallery process your sale vs. doing it yourself? This Café, we’ll demystify these scary topics and talk about how to start small and easy.
