With workshops such as Grant Writing, Taxes for Artists, Pricing Your Work, Marketing for Artists, and Writing About Your Work. Running April to May in Halifax, Lunenburg, and Annapolis Royal, the series features the expertise of instructors Eleanor King, Nora MacNee, and Stacey Cornelius.

VANS is also organizing a free Panel Discussion on The Role of Commercial Art Galleries discussing a commercial gallery’s position in the art community, and how commercial galleries support art and artists in the province.

In addition, VANS is partnering with the Artists Legal Information Society (ALIS) to offer artists an opportunity to learn more about Social Media and Copyright Online. ALIS is generously offering this session by donation to their organization.
