Dear Friends,
As many of you know, I am a spokesperson and enthusiastic supporter of the Missouri division of Volunteer Lawyers & Accountants for the Arts (VLAA) with whom I have had nothing but positive experiences for nearly 10 years.
I wanted to pass along information that (thanks to VLAA initiative and the support of various funding organizations) VLAA is offering a series of career development seminars for musicians, artists, etc., during October and November for only $10 per session.
The seminars are in St. Louis, but if enough of us from Northwest Missouri are interested in attending I’m sure we can arrange car pools, overnight group rates at a motel - whatever is necessary to get artists from NW Missouri to these seminars.
VLAA consists of some of the top professionals in the business who have a sincere commitment and unparalleled expertise in the legal, commercial and developmental aspects of the arts - areas where we artists are often terrifyingly underdeveloped and areas that are virtually never addressed at other “fluff” conferences that cost infinitely more and offer infinitely less.
If you have any intention of developing an active AND lucrative career in the arts, I would strongly suggest that you consider attending these seminars! Attached is a PDF regarding the seminars. Please feel free to forward this information to anyone else you think would be interested and feel free to call me at home in the US if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Anthony
