You're listening to the savvy painter podcast, episode number 40.

Welcome to the savvy painter podcast, the podcast for artists who mean business.

Here's your host, Antrice Wood.

Hey, it's Antrice, and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter Podcast.

Before I start this episode, I just want to say thank you to Sadie from Canada

Lynn Adam Betty and Annie from the UK for leaving some really nice reviews on iTunes. It's so great to hear from you and

I just wanted to give you a little shout out and say thank you. I really appreciate

that. Also if you are on the savvy painter email list you know about the exclusive

workshop that I'm running on how to develop a relationship with the right gallery.

The Monday session has completely sold out. It has been a

blast working with those artists, but there are a few spots left in the

Wednesday workshop. That starts this Wednesday, October 15th, and runs through the 29th. Once the

registration closes on the Wednesday workshop, I will not be offering it again

until spring of 2015. So if that's something that you're interested in I

highly recommend that you go to the website check it out. You can get all the

information on what we'll be talking about, register, or get on the early bird list for the next time I offer it at savvy painter.com forward slash gallery workshop.

That's all one word. Okay, so on to this episode. My guest today is

Mitchell Kaufman. Mitchell raised 12,650something dollars on Kickstarter to fund an art show and tribute to his mentor

Jorge Alvarez.

That show was a really touching tribute to another artist and mentor and speaks to the healing power of art.

Now for those of you who might not be familiar with Kickstarter or other crowdsourcing sites

Kickstarter allows you to raise money to fund your creative projects.
