Fall is traditionally the peak season for art shows.
The fall of 2020 is perhaps even more so; many artists have discovered extra studio time and solo inspiration during this pandemic. There is much artwork that is waiting to be shared and sent out into the world.
Some pieces are finished and many others are getting close – still needing those elusive final touches.
This module is for artists who are getting ready for an art show; it focuses on everything show related, be that a gallery show or an on-line exhibition. Actually, it will be helpful to anyone who is trying hard to put the finishing touches on those pieces that are needing just a little bit more.
