First Artists Lunch & Lecture-Big Success.

The session was hosted by Trina Slade-Burks, CEO and president of the 21-year business, which specializes in “all things art” from education to art sales to art execution. 

 Speaker CEO/Founder Karen Alleyne-Means of Herlife Magazine discussed the importance of art in the Palm Beach County where as attorney Sabine Millien-Felix Partner at the Law firm of Millien LeBlanc & Simpson discussed legal contracts with galleries. Some of the other topics included grant opportunities and how to get the “starving artist” mindset out of the artists’ livelihood. 

 All in attendance agreed that the event was very informative. You can read how the development of this series got started on the Rickie Report.
