This was a wonderful event!
We are grateful to Kevin Hallinan for being our wonderful guest speaker,
and Mimi Graney for opening up Design Annex to the Guild and co-hosting.

One of our attendees remarked that this was the best, most helpful Guild event he had been to!

"Kevin helped me to get over my fear of the phone, helped me get through the lies and strip away the BS that some potential clients seem to use regularly on us artists. He helped me to figure out how to be an artist and be successful in business at the same time. And, it didn't hurt... much... ;-)"
-Matt M., Photographer

If you are serious about the growth of your career in art,
don't miss out on this event.
