This week I had the good fortunate to take the “Business 101: Consulting for Creative Professionals” course with Nadja Sayej, host and creator of the witty and insightful (and sometimes enjoyably disturbing) web-TV show, ArtStars*, at Node Residency Center. Sayej makes the course fun, interesting and thought-provoking, while offering practical information that every creative professional should know about how to share and communicate their artwork, project or company. If you’re weren’t lucky enough to make it to her last session in Berlin on June 25, be sure to buy her “ArtStars* Guide to Getting Your Shit Together“ notes package, an invaluable reference for promoting your project, artwork, or company.
