Salon

Change Your Point of View, Change Your Art w/ Peter Serko Peter Serko will discuss and demonstrate how changing one's point of view helped transform his work as a photographer.

Renowned fine artists Joan Wortis and Don Cole will talk about "the intersections our lives and work have had, what turns us on and what moves us. We find that shared experiences, visual and cultural, impact us both and then are abstracted and processed differently."

Valerie Willson will be hosting a VIVA Salon at the O Space on Sept 26th. at 7:00. The discussion will be focused on Showing at Art Fairs: How to Make Your Living as an Artist. How do you find information about shows? What kind of materials do you need to apply? What are the costs? What kind of money could you earn? will be some of the information covered. Come for an exciting evening of exchange of ideas and information. For more information contact Valerie at: valeriewillson@comcast.net
