How do you visualize the course of your future as an artist or creative? How can you use your skills to support your practice? How do you price your work, your time and your abilities? This seminar, at the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Markel Center, 601 W. Broad St., will help you get where you want to be by encouraging you to set personal goals, take inventory of your skills and view money as less of a reward and more of a tool.
