Join some of the region’s most accomplished artists Thursday, October 16, for a discussion of the practical aspects of their professions.

“The Art of Business and the Business of Art” will include presentations on everything from self-marketing to tax preparation, from the perspective of practicing artists.

UWindsor instructors Kim Nelson and Marty Gervais are among the guest speakers in four concurrent sessions:

• Acting and Dance performance;

• Music and Spoken Word performance.

Presented by the Windsor Endowment for the Arts as part of the programming for the Art Gallery of Windsor’s Possible Futures: What is to be done?
