You don’t want to miss our next guest, Alan Douglas Ray, AFCA as he walks us through “The Commission Game”. techniques.
Teaser:
While working on a difficult art commission, have you ever stopped to ask yourself: “Why on earth did I agree to do this?” In this game, meant to hone your skills at qualifying worthwhile commissions, you’re the best friend of legendary painter Johannes Vermeer. He wants your advice on whether to accept a new portrait commission. Together, we’ll ask some probing questions to help steer him in the right direction. Will the answer be “Yes, I’d love to”, “Yes, with conditions”, “No, unless…”, “No way.”
The Zoom link will be emailed to FCA Toronto members separately.
