Rather than dealing with govern-
ment grants for artists, Rich
concentrates on "how artists can
be business people -- how they
can get out there and make
money from their own work."
She covers the small-business
aspects of being a professional art-
ist such as tips on taxes,
copyright laws and product
development.

As the head of Parmelee
Publications, Rich markets her
own line of photographic grect-
ing cards in Canada and the
United States.

Marketing Your Art will be of-
fered Saturday, April 23rd, from
9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Douglas
College. Call 520-5477 for more in-
formation. —
