The Palm Gardens Chapter of the Brandeis National Committee had one of their meetings at RosettaStone Fine Art Gallery on Wednesday February 16, 2011. They came to hear me lecture about how I went from being a full-time artist to an entrepreneur who now represents hundreds of artists from all over the world. They graciously awarded me a receipt of a donation given in my name to the Brandeis Library. Everyone there had a great time, so much so, that there was a call waiting on my answering machine the next day from another group that wanted to have their next event in my gallery.
I have a long list of topics that I enjoy talking about:
“The History of Print Making”
“All About Giclees”
“How to take your Art Career to the Next Level”
“Tips on Hanging and Displaying Art”
“What to Look for when Buying Art”
“The Future of the Traditional Gallery Model”

The event lasted an hour and a half, from 10:30am till 12:00pm. There was a 15 minute meet and greet session where all the ladies congregated in my studio while waiting for the rest to arrive. When all were present I conducted a docent-like tour of the gallery pointing out some of the outstanding artists that I represent. I then gave a twenty- minute lecture about my career with a ten-minute Q and A session. After that, the women took their time taking another look at all the artworks and made some purchases. My staff served coffee and tea and some sweet edibles. There were even Mamosas offered, but there were no takers. I did not charge for this. I was more than happy to provide all of the above for free in turn for the exposure. No one, other than the organizer of the event, Norma Kaminsky, had been to my new location so was definitely a win-win proposition.
