Oh how I wish I could go to this, a tour of the new Storey Gallery also appeals (and because it is chock full of lovely and interesting staff):

"Artists have commercially valuable skills which are often not recognised, either by themselves or others.This symposium will explore some examples of artists who are doing that, and some routes for development. Speakers include artist and cultural icon Linder Sterling, artist and architect team Sans façon, and artist Olivia Plender. Each speaker will talk about their experience of working within the commercial creative industries and making the most of these opportunities."
This seems sensible; to acknowledge the fact that artists do not often make a living from selling work and look at how it can be done in real life…
