This Month at CHF
April was a tremendous month for CHF, as we engaged with working artists from coast to coast—talking “Mightier Marketing” at Artexpo New York, women in the arts at stARTup Art Fair San Francisco, and career acceleration at our Art Business Summit in Santa Fe. CHF is leading the charge in entrepreneurial education for artists, and these boots-on-the-ground events are a key part of our approach, complementing the expertise and training we provide virtually, and bringing artists together to collaborate. Join us at our next art business summit, in Dallas, on September 8th and 9th!
