NEW COURSES – negotiation & sales techniques dealing with contracts - legal matters

Day two will cover negotiation and sales techniques, how to work with contract and Quebec law as it pertains to all artists needs. This is the really detailed work you will need to improve your confidence in the business development of you as a fantastic artist.
About the Speaker Christa Fairchild
Fairchild has realized that it takes more than creative talent to have a successful career as an artist: it takes business skills and an entrepreneurial spirit. Most students of the Arts graduate with little or no business training offered as part of their curriculum. Often business courses and workshops available are not tailored to the needs of artists. The Arts market is increasingly competitive while the Canadian government is cutting its funding.
With this in mind, she decided to take matters into her own hands and offer her own business courses. Her courses provide practical tips, insights, tools and techniques that artists, from all domains, can begin to use right away, with confidence, to make an immediate impact on their career. "As artists,” says Fairchild, “even when we are not formally trained in business, we have an incredible capacity for creativity — an essential ingredient in being an art entrepreneur."
The goal of these workshops is to share anecdotes and insights about the business world and how they relate to the “entreprenartist” in all artists who seek prosperity. Fairchild uses the term entreprenartist as a way to illustrate that we are all in the business of art. As business woman and artist, as dynamic and outspoken public speaker, her work inspires others to create their own successes.
