Artist Development Workshop: Getting Started on Etsy

Presented in partnership with Ohio Designer Craftsmen

May 9, 6:00 – 9:00 PM

Ohio Craft Museum, 1665 W. Fifth Avenue

Have you thought about selling your work online? This workshop, led by artist Larry Watson, is all about Etsy, the online marketplace focused on handmade art and craft. Originally launched in June of 2005, the site hosted over $800 million in artists’ sales last year.


Etsy.com offers many tools and techniques to help you reach nearly four million shoppers. Join us to learn all you need to get started with your own shop and sell the things you love to make. You will learn:

  • How to set up your site and start selling

  • How to make your products look their best

  • How to make your shop profitable

After Larry, Etsy Team Columbus will speak about their mentoring and support services for local Etsy sellers, and tell you about their events for artist in Central Ohio.


Before the workshop, see The Best of 2013. This annual juried members’ exhibition features 100 works in clay, glass, metal, fiber, wood, and mixed media, on view through June 23rd.
Pre-registration is required, please call 614-486-4402 to sign up. This workshop costs $25 for members of ODC and the GCAC OPPArt Group, and $30 for non-members.


Taxes for Artists – What you should know

Presented by Mark Van Benschoten, CPA; Director of Not-for-Profit Services at Rea & Associates

May 21, 7:30 – 9:00 PM

Jazz Academy, 760 East Long Street, 4th Flr Conf Rm

There’s a lot more to being an artist than creating art – especially from a tax perspective. Do you have to file a return? Are you classifying your income and expenses appropriately? Are you getting all the deductions you could, like for supplies, mileage, advertising and training? Do you face any potential employment tax issues? In this presentation, Mark will teach artists and art students about the “business” of being an artist. Join Mark Van Benschoten, CPA; Director of Not-for-Profit Services at Rea & Associates, for this informative session.


Please RSVP to attend this event to Ruby Harper at rharper@gcac.org. Walk-ins welcome, space allowing.

Learn more about making your organization’s data work for you!


New User Orientation

We recommend a New User Orientation if your organization is new to the CDP or if you need a refresher on data entry. This training session will provide an overview of the history and goals of the Ohio CDP as well as an introduction to the types of data collected. The New User Orientation will walk participants through the process of entering data, applying to participating funders and generating reports. Please feel free to attend with additional staff and board members.



Reports Orientation

The Reports Orientation will give an overview of the available reports and is most useful for organizations that have already completed a Data Profile and are ready to use the reports. Now that more than 450+ arts and cultural organizations are participating in the Ohio CDP, you are able to run reports comparing your organization against others throughout Ohio, as well as California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania!



Get Started. Register Today.

You can participate in WEB-BASED CDP Orientation sessions from your home or office computer. Once registered and one day prior to the training session, you will be sent a link to connect to this training session online.
