My presentation at the Arts Foundation
April 22, 2008 | 1 Comment
Last week, I gave a presentation at The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod entitled “Blogging for Artists.” I was invited to participate in their eight-week series of classes entitled “What’s Your Story?” The place was standing room only when I arrived, and all of the artists had great questions and interaction. The program was well received.
