Art Entrepreneurs



- Visit to Show & Tell Gallery and talk with owner Simon Cole about the economics of art. Students working on cutting their own multi-layer skateboard stencils were inspired by seeing the different techniques used by international stencil artists Logan Hicks and C215.
-Talk about the local poster scene and business of being an artist with Michael Comeau, who will be collaborating with an OSF student on an upcoming limited edition series of boards.
