DESIGN YOUR CAREER PATH
Craft Business Institute (CBI)
*************************************************************

CBI is designed for craftspeople, like you, who want to learn how to design
a path for selling production, limited-edition and one-of-a-kind artwork in
all media.

Through your interactions with presenters and fellow participants, a
resource room full of vital information sources, a panel discussion with
gallery owners and the CBI exhibition you will gain the knowledge and
confidence you need to take your craft business to the next level of
success.

A limited number of full and partial scholarships will be awarded.

Register for CBI by April 7 and save $100 on your complete conference
package (includes sessions, meals, and lodging). Day packages are also
available.
