What is GYST? An organization by artists for artists, based out of LA, to help you organize your art and career. Check out our speaker, Karen Atkinson's TED-x talk.
One take-away is we learned how adding "juried" to your art resume is no longer seen as prestigious. "Invited" is what you need to make an impact.
Fun after-workshop with Karen, at Harry's Hofbrau, to talk about what we just learned! See below, Lillie, Jill, Karen and Della on left; with Rachel and Susan on right.

Hey, hey. This post is just an at 'er girl pat on the back as we have public notices posted (with more to follow).
- The first is an ad campaign in Facebook starting in a few days.
- The next is in Fractured Atlas - an art's haven for events and social perks like insurance and fiscal services.
- Then we entered our whole show in LiveSV - for silicon valley events - we should probably enter just the reception - because those are always cool - meeting the artists and all.
- We followed up with more sponsored Facebook posts - but we need more PR if anyone is interested, write to [email protected] and promote yourself!
