Providing a venue to exhibit works isn't the only way to foster creativity for an area's creative class. Eau Claire Regional Arts Center knows this, and that's why they're bringing back three educational opportunities for local artists in the form of workshops about the business end of being an artist. The series is titled The Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists and takes place Oct. 14 and 15. The classes open with Time Management for Creative People at 4pm on the 14th, then continues with Marketing for Artists at 9am the following morning, and concludes with Pricing Your Work: Getting Paid for What You Do at 1pm on the 15th. The classes are $45 for one and $120 for all three. They're hosted by The Janet Carson Gallery and presented by the St. Paul organization Springboard for the Arts.
