Meet the fantastic art collectives at Surtex. We interviewed a few.

Hi! It’s me, Reine and I’m just back from my trip to the tradeshows in New York with Lilla Rogers Studio. It was fantastic to see so many art collectives that have formed directly because of Make Art That Sells! I enjoyed actually getting to meet the people behind the art I love from class! One of the great things about Make Art That Sells (MATS) is that it gets you set for two big tradeshows, Surtex 2017 and Blueprint. Q: What is an ‘art collective’? A: Art collectives are groups of like-minded artists who get together and split the cost of a booth, form a group website, share marketing, and be there for support and advice. Here I am (on the left) with the gang from Finch & Foxglove Collective. They met each other in Make Art That Sells courses. You’ll love this interview I did with them at
