# Event Details - **Event Name**: Annual Art Symposium: The Business of Art - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am – Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: Building an artmaking business can be quite a challenge. How do you promote your artwork? Where can you find sources of funding? How do you protect your intellectual property? And how can you work efficiently both on creating artwork and managing a business? This year’s Annual Art Symposium explores where the creative and business worlds overlap and provides artists with answers to these questions. Resources in moving your creative work forward, including photographing and printing your artwork, also will be discussed. Both emerging and established artists, as well as instructors and art lovers, are invited to join us as we dive deep into the business of artmaking. Symposium presenters: John Kachik has been making American images as a freelance illustrator, artist, graphic designer, and educator since 1984. John will discuss his career as an artist and illustrator during a discussion with Delaplaine Exhibitions Manager Corey Frey.

Jennifer Kahn Barlow’s experience in finance and economics and her work as a practicing artist are a rare mix of artistic insight and business expertise.
