Connecting and Partnering with the Community to Promote Your Art Show (Ep. 6 January)

While it seems so far away, the countdown to the art show is real! January is the time to reach out to the community to garner vendors and local businesses for general support and to be a part of a Mini Marketplace. Sarah and Jenn are busy with checklists and communications like invites and posters. It’s also a great time to consider the traffic flow of the show. See how Sarah partners with the PTO/PTA to make grade-level banners. Lastly, find balance in your art teacher life during the long winter months with gentle smiles and personal artmaking.
