Presented by Glenn Barber, CPA, with over 25 years of experience in public accounting, this workshop recognizes a simple reality: running an art practice means running a business.

Designed for both emerging and established artists, the workshop will cover practical strategies for managing costs like shipping and services, maintaining accurate records, and navigating the tax implications of selling artwork, no matter your income level.
