Topics covered will include: editing your manuscript, publishing eBooks, self-marketing, copyright and ISBN, as well as resources for writers looking to self-publish.

ABOUT:
Clackamas County Arts Alliance showcases the work of local visual artists through our Artist Exhibit Program (AEP). We match artists with libraries, hospitals, county buildings, and other public spaces so their art can be viewed by the public.

The Arts Alliance coordinates installation, and artwork rotates regularly in venues throughout Clackamas County. Community members are able to enjoy changing exhibits, experience various art mediums, and learn about local artists. AEP opens doors to additional exhibit and sales opportunities for artists, while also providing skill building and gallery readiness training. The call for artists to participate in AEP (which is offered commission-free) is extended annually, with an updated roster of artists announced once selections have been completed.
