The movers and shakers of the Artists & Makers conference
On April 1, Archipelago, the Island Institute’s retail arm hosted their first one-day conference at The Hutchinson Center in Belfast to offer area artists and makers practical tips and strategies to help you grow their businesses. The conference brought together artists and makers from around the state to learn about a variety of topics from professionals and peers.
“The event was a huge success with more than 135 artists and makers attending,” said organizer Lisa Mossel Vietze. “The brief look I've had at the surveys points to people really finding the conference and speakers engaging, informative and worthwhile.”
