artist to artist: tips for artwork preparation

MEMBER WORKSHOP
with Mary Culbertson-Stark & Scott Hunter

Associated Artists of Pittsburgh
100 43rd St. Unit 107
Pittsburgh, PA 15201

On Thursday, August 18th, Associated Artists of Pittsburgh will host a conversation among our members on art preparation. Preparing your work for transport is important: it protects the art and presents you as a professional. During this open conversation, we invite you to bring both your questions and expertise to your fellow members. Together, we can swap success stories, learn from one another's missteps, and tackle current transport issues.

AAP will provide some sample packing materials for members to consider, as well as some light drinks and snacks.

Joining us for the conversation will be AAP artists Mary Culbertson Stark and Scott Hunter. You can read more about Mary & Scott below.
