The 2009 ARTpreneur Conference will take place in Cornwall, Ontario on November 5th, 2009. The conference programme will focus on the business needs of the artistic entrepreneur and teach creative people how to succeed at their business endeavors.

This event is open to all local artists, artisans and performers and provides an opportunity where they can network, learn and develop new skills and gain insight on how to successfully maintain a creative business.

This year's success story, Diane Sullivan, whose CLAY is her passion and decoration is her language will start the morning off by sharing her journey to success!

After a morning full of information and expertise, motivational sensation Rosita Hall will uplift and inspire you to keep you going on your journey! Rosita, author of the book I Found The Answer, will make you laugh until it hurts. Her message is clear, "you've got the power to position yourself for success" and she speaks with passion and with purpose. Not to be missed!

The conference is designed for today's professional artist in all domains: painter, musician, writer, dancer, actor, designer, photographer, and talks will be given by experts in the art and business world from around Ontario. ARTpreneur will provide an inside look into what it takes to make it in the "ART biz" world.
