Make Your Art Work for You was a lively core conversation session with about 40 attendees. Artists came out of the tech woodwork to attend. The conversation pooled the group’s experiences with creating art and distributing artworks including visual art, poetry, books, music and film. These various arts have rich social networks within each artform but rarely talk across disciplines unless directly collaborating, such as a book illustrator with a writer. This conversation illustrated the rich promise for social networking around the creative process as well as around the business of distributing art. I hope there will be more on this theme next year! See you then fellow artists in tech.
