Highly recommended – Stephen Wagner’s an excellent speaker and very knowledgeable, and each of these classes represents a networking opportunity in itself. Great for photographers, painters, graphic designers – any type of art…or for art writers and publicists.
If you’re not in the SF Bay Area (sorry for all the local announcements recently) perhaps email the event organizers and have them send information and notes your way for a PayPal contribution.
