The Artwork Archive team is on the move!
We’re heading out west to the Plein Air Convention and Expo (PACE) in Santa Fe then jumping over to the east coast for Portrait Society of America’s The Art of the Portrait Conference in Washington, DC.
Every year we look forward to getting out of the office, meeting artists, and hearing about new works and processes. Please stop by our booth to introduce yourself if you’re at either conference and bring your friends!
Plus, we’ll be giving away Rosemary brushes at our booth. That and the candy should hopefully be enticing enough to come over and say hello!
