An Interview With Art Licensing Expert Tara Reed.
This week we had the great privilege to talk with art licensing expert Tara Reed. Tara talked about what it takes to thrive in the competitive field of art licensing. As with most art based professions things have changed a lot in recent years and it’s no longer enough to just be a talented artist. Tara discusses how creatives must also understand marketing, promotion and business. Tara also talks a little bit about mindset and the ability to overcome fear and doubt.
A leader in her field Tara also is also a coach and a teacher. Her websites and blog are loaded with information about the field of licensing. For those who are serious about getting into licensing Tara will be starting a new program over at the Art Licensing Academy starting October 8, 2014.
