Today's featured Sponsor is in the fish bowl : life as an artists online, an e-course.
I had the great fortune of meeting Marisa Haedike at Squam Arts Workshops earlier this year, and though neither of us knew of each others' work and projects, I was instantly drawn to her creative spirit, and the passion and interest she exudes for the creativity in others. Since our meeting, I began listening to her Creative Thursday podcasts, loving her art, and reading her blog tales (links to all below).
But in addition to those pieces of her creative life, Marisa also now teaches this e-course on living a creative life online. Some words from Marisa:
"in the fish bowl: life as an artist online
How to make a living, market yourself, and maneuver as an artist online, while staying true to who you are.
It always helps to have someone in your corner, believing in your dreams right along side you. Beginning on a Creative Thursday, September 24, 2009. for six weeks, I will be that someone for you. And together we will build our own supportive community, "the fish bowl", where I will share with you what I've learned about being an artist online. This is a limited enrollment course that will also be personalized to the group who will be attending. This course will be beneficial for anyone who is expressing themselves creatively online, whether they are already in business or just beginning. You can take the course at your own pace. It will be a combination of podcasts and videos, posted weekly, where participants can communicate with each other and with me."
For more information about the course:
- Background from Marisa on WHY she started this course.
- For insight from a student's perspective, check out this recent post by Maya of Maya Made.
- And lastly, a recent video by Marisa explaining her intention as a teacher.
The next 6 week e-course session begins on September 24th. Registration is limited and open now. For today's Giveaway, Marisa is offering one spot in the course! To enter, leave a comment in this post. And please, if you are so inclined, tell us a creative dream you have right now - big or small! Comments will be closed, and the winner announced by 9am EST on Sunday.

This e- course sounds like a dream. I am about to jump in with both feet to start a blog and try to sell some of my handmade items. This sounds like it would be a big help. Thanks for the giveaway.
