During the monthly ART meeting we will have keynotes speakers about topics and issues we all struggle with as self-employed artists which is followed by a round table discussion about the topic. April’s topic is using videos and social networks for marketing. (4/2/9 from 10am to noon, you can sign up for membership then but please RSVP as space is limited.) Our Gears membership is for those who want to support CoG but on a yearly basis and as mostly audience members. To become a member click here: http://sites.google.com/site/cogpdx/membership-1
