I've spent 30 years helping artists grow their businesses from local sales to selling nationally with galleries and shops. I'm always available for business questions and I blog three times a week at www.ArtsBusinessInstitute.org. My passion is promoting American Made and Handmade in the US and Canada... you can find me spreading the handmade and American made message on Capitol Hill at least once a week. If you'd like to learn more about my political activities, selling to the Smithsonian museum shops or National Park stores sign up for the blog at www.AmericanMadeAlliance.org We need all the voices and...fists we can gather!

It's a pleasure to have you join us, Wendy. I know many people in this business are here because of the events and hard work you have put into making the fine art and craft field a solid source of income.
I'm looking forward to watching your growth in the political arena.
Thanks for your kind words. I'd love to get a group of craft event and org leaders together this February at the BMAC.
Hi Wendy and welcome aboard :) Getting the handmade message out is so important - down here in Australia too :) Good luck with it all and see you around AFI!
