The good folks putting this event together got in contact with us for some information on Imagekind a while ago, and we’ve been going through some of the material for their upcoming conference, so we thought we’d mention it here for those of you looking for this kind of resource or training.  It’s the first annual smARTist Telesummit, and there is a lot of good detailed information on the event, the features, and the speakers – so give it a look if you’re curious.

The group is definitely unique with its approach to putting on a conference like this, and though it does cost some money to attend, it seems like they are giving you as much bang for your buck as they can.  There is a totally free preview event tommorrow, so you do have a chance to try it out first.

Here are some of the details and important dates in smARTist’s own words:

“Want to get recognized, exhibited, and paid for your art in 2007? …register soon (the spots are filling up quickly) for the 1st annual, Art Career Conference, the smARTistâ„¢ Telesummit January 2007 (It’s a tax write-off too). 17 sessions with a dozen art-career experts and successful artists – over a telephone bridgeline (with online recordings for ‘any-time’ listening). No travel time or travel expenses. 

Test drive it! Last free pre-event on Jan 11 with free publicity expert, Joan Stewart.
Joan is so knowledgeable, that she has developed over 180 products on her website! Come see what she has to say about how artists can get their names out there for pennies on the dollar!

This live call will be recorded, so you can listen afterward, but to get access you have to sign up here:
