The McMillan Arts Centre in Parksville will host art business classes for the first time this spring and fall.
April Lacheur will teach two sessions in May and two in September at the arts centre located at 133 McMillan St.
Lacheur built an art business during the past 19 years, which eventually replaced her income as a registered nurse, according to a news release.
“I feel I have many experiences, skills and words of wisdom I am eager to share with fellow artists who are looking to either start selling their art or want to focus on increased sales and building a fulfilling art business,” she said. “Whether your goal is buying more art supplies, travelling, or even replacing a day job, it’s possible.”
Artists can choose to register for one, some or all of the classes, according to the release. The first class, ‘Art Business Basics’ is on May 7, followed by ‘Art Marketing 101’ on May 21.
Classes are also scheduled for Sept. 10 (‘How to Make Art Reproductions’) and Sept. 24 (‘How to Sell at an Art Market’).
Each class goes from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and costs $75. Registration is available online at aprillacheurart.com/classes.
Lacheur will be showing her work at the MAC this June, alongside Kelly Corbett and Helen Utsal, in an exhibition titled Forest Bathing. The opening reception for that exhibition will be on May 31.
