The NAIA 2009 Stimulus Plan: Project ART!

The 9th Art Festival Directors / Artists Summit Conference, organized by the National Association of Independent Artists (NAIA) will be held Thursday & Friday, September 24 - 25, 2009 in Peoria, Illinois, immediately prior to the Peoria Fine Art Fair.

This unique event is the only one of its kind that is geared directly to the needs and issues of arts festivals and artists, and provides an unparalleled opportunity to meet, network, problem solve and energize with show directors from around the country.

It is open to all show directors, staff and board members on Thursday and Friday. Open to all artists on Thursday. If you've never been to an NAIA Conference, you owe it to yourself to be there. And if you've attended one or all of our past conferences, you'll find this one is targeted to provide as much valuable information to the "veteran", as it is to those who may join us for the first time.

To register for Thursday's artist sessions at the $25 artist rate, click on the link below for the main conference page. In the left column is a link to artist registration.

Register NOW!!

P. S. Personally I have attended at least seven of these conferences - they are professionally presented and chock full of strategic and helpful information. Plus, you have time to meet other artists and the show directors in an informal situation where you don't have to get back to your booth to sell something! ;) How cool is that? Yes, I'll be there too and look forward to meeting you.
