• To enable artists to meet each other before sale day
• To have each artist make a 1 - 2 minute presentation about their artwork (bring one piece of your artwork with you to this meeting) and distribute a short (maximum one page) description of their art to the other artists - this will enable artists to readily discuss ALL of the artwork with clients on sale day
