Lori Siebert, a very successful licensing artist, tells why she is excited about being a part of the artist retreat ArtBizJam next month. Lori, licensing artist Paula Joerling, and product developer Anne Brown and I will be hosting a fun packed and educational artist’s retreat at the beach in Destin, Fl. It promises to be an unforgettable weekend.

In addition to happy hours, a shrimp boil and lots of freebies and surprises we will also be sharing valuable information on running an art-driven business.
We are keeping this gathering small and we are almost at full capacity. Also registration closes on August 10th (Saturday).
For the past month I have been sharing interviews with the “instructors” that will be participating. This weeks interview is with Lori Siebert but be sure to check out interviews with and Anne and myself.
Why did you want to be involved with ArtBizJam?
What will people get out of attending this particular workshop?
What will people get out of attending this particular workshop?
A lot of camaraderie, fun, bonding and support from other creative people…thought provoking conversation about your dreams and goals, practical classes about the business side of things, good fun, wine, the beach.
What makes this workshop/retreat special and different from other workshops?
When we talked about how to make this different,we decided on two things…make it small and intimate so we can really cater to the people who attend…and make it about BOTH side of the brain. We all love to create…that is a given…but,we also have to find ways to be efficient and make money…so we can continue to make a living creatively. This is what we want to share.
How do you reconcile your passion of creating art with the business side of art?
I am really lucky in that my husband is my business partner and we have an agent,CourtneyDavis. I really do get to focus on the creative. But,it is important to have an understanding of our business as a whole and where it is going.
What are you looking forward to fun-wise with ArtBizJam?
Time with really great, creative folks…great food,sharing,learning from one another…an overall re-charge!
