If you have not tried meetup.com, it is a pretty cool website that is a combination of online and offline (that’s real life) networking. Onajide has created a group for artist entrepreneurs who are interested in increasing their ability to make a living off their art. They have pretty regular seminars and other informative get togethers. Check the one out below and join their group!

Announcing a new Meetup for South Florida Artist Entrepreneurs Meetup Group!
What: Artist’s Statement Workshop
When: August 7, 2009 7:00 PM
Where: Panera Bread
1762 North Federal Highway
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33305
Recently involved in a couple of discussions we thought this was the right time for an Artist’s Statement Writing Workshop. This will be one evening not to miss. Please be on time, the venue closes promptly at 9 am.
5 Reasons why you should be there:
“I have idea how to get started.”
“How personal should it be?”
“I’ve started, like, ten times and it’s still a mess.”
“How long should it be?”
“Gawd, I’m not a writer… like, I’m an artist. Hello!”
Don’t waste more time writing in frustration. Be there!
