Reminder: Art Biz Coach is Coming Tomorrow

The photos above show my "booth" just before the Fiesta Arts Fair at Southwest School of Art and Craft opened for business. I think I had the best spot in the entire fair -- shade, historical ambiance, music, margaritas within a shout, lots of traffic, memories (I was once actually married right here in this very courtyard) and friends happily tripping through opening Fiesta weekend.

Just a reminder -- while I take my breath, count my blessings and get it together for a full report on the Fiesta Arts Fair.
 Art Biz Coach Alyson Stanfield is stopping by tomorrow on her Blog Tour to promote her new and VERY helpful book: I'd Rather Be in the Studio.

 In case I don't get back to this space later this afternoon, I wanted to make sure you all knew about the tour, and tomorrow will check out her answer to my art business question: Should I have a separate (from my new Gallery website), dedicated website for my teaching and workshops? (And what do you think, loyal readers? Would a separate site make sense? Should I beef up the link on my blog site or develop a separate set of pages within the new Gallery site -- www.susiemonday.com)

Tomorrow, you will also find out how to win a free copy of Alyson's book, and find some links to some of my favorites of the many  blogs, podcasts and other resources that she offers through her on-line teaching and coaching.

Here's the view during the Fair, in a rare quietish moment! Thanks to all of you who stopped in the browse, to Jennifer who took some great professional photos for me, to all of you who purchased aart work rom me or from another artist -- the most direct way to support the arts -- feed an artist! We know you have many choices about how to spend your time, money and energy. Buying art, while certainly not a survival necessity, is, I think,  both a financial and spiritual investment in the future of the planet.

Hi Susie
Your website is looking GREAT! I do think your workshops should be a "tab" on the website. Then you could just put a link on the blog instead of making it do double duty.I look at a lot of doll-makers sites and they all advertise their workshops. Include descriptions of the ones you are willing to travel to give. I hope you sell out at the Fair! The booth looks so enticing.

Susie, thanks for sharing these photos. It really feels like the Southwest and I would have loved to have seen them in person!

Hey Susie, Wish I could have gone this weekend!Just back from a few days @ S. Padre Island- so relaxing, eating ceviche and talking to sea turtles! Your sales area looks beautiful- all color and greenery! I think Jane Bishop had that spot a few years ago- perfect. Web site is looking good,I like seeing all things (art, workshop, etc) in one place. L.
