Join the Graphic Artists Guild for Show Off & Tell! An informal gathering to show off some recent work, get feedback on works in progress, or do some fun drawing exercises to keep your skills sharp.

SPECIAL GUEST!

For the first part of November’s Show Off & Tell, Christopher Hart will be joining us to answer questions about his series of books and to tell us what he’ll be covering at his How to Get Published webinar for the Guild next week!

Then we’ll jump into checking out everyone’s work. Hope you can join us!

Christopher Hart is the author of over 100 books, which have sold over 8 million copies and have been translated into 20 languages.

All creatives welcome! Whether you want to show off your work (and enjoy some oohs and ahhs), or just participate in the telling part, come and schmooze with us.

Got new stickers in your store? Working on a website? Designing a business card? Come SHARE with us!

The Lone Artist is a monthly event series occurring on the fourth Thursday of each month. It’s designed for solo graphic artists, designers, illustrators, and more. Let’s break out of the isolation of our creative caves and come together to discuss the business side of our work, while nurturing a supportive community.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with fellow artists, gain valuable insights, and expand your professional network.

This month, we’re talking about: Closing A Deal for freelancers and creatives.

Join Leanne and Carl for a guided conversation about collaboration with service providers as well as clients.

Bring a fruity drink & some snacks – along with your questions or experiences.
