I highly recommend attending at least one event of this type for any artist who wants to get serious about doing portrait commissions. Even for non-commissioned figurative artists there's a lot to be gained.
I went to one in New York two or three years ago and it was a real eye opener. If you want to know how the business works and get a sense of how things are in the upper echelons, go to one of these.
Here's the info on the PSOA:

Guess this means I need to have an SOG dinner? 
While you're answering, you might as well give a yes or no on the dinner. It's usually around $50 since they serve a limited menu to a large group. That makes sense, right?

I already have my reservations. Haven't missed one yet and am looking forward to 2005. I look forward to hopefully meeting each of you there.
Yes, Cynthia, count me in on the dinner. I always enjoy those too.

I have a 'lean and mean' pocketbook but have heard that this is an event not to miss. I'm in my beginner stage and wonder how much I can get out of the gathering. After all, you only get out what you put in.
Any advice on what I should be prepared for?
Thanks,
John
