Ana Becerra Art Show, April 18th

I have an art show April 18th that I’m trying to get the word out on.

I’m giving away some vintage looking coasters with pictures that I took on them to the first 10 people that buy a ticket from me as a "Thank You" for supporting me. I’ll send you a picture of them when I’m done making all of them. It is a 21+ show & it’s located at Block No. 16 Union & Spirits.

Here’s the link to all the details of the show:
http://www.rawartists.org/sandiego/marvel

Here’s the link to my RAW profile:
http://www.rawartists.org/anabecerra

It’s important that they put my name, Ana Becerra, when purchasing the tickets online so 1.) I can get credit for it as an artist at the show and 2.) They can get the said coaster. They can also purchase a ticket via my RAW profile on the link that says "Buy a ticket for this Artist"

I’ll have a list of every person who purchases a ticket by date so I know who will get a coaster or not.

If you have any questions about it let me know!

-Ana

Social Media sounds like a great set of tools for your business, but is social media really a herd of rights-grabbing Trojan horses? There is a lot more to social media than just getting re-tweets, likes, and +1s.

Join marketing-consultant-slash-copyright-lawyer Leslie Burns as she digs through the Terms of Service for some of the most popular social media tools out there to tell you what works, what is dangerous, and how best to protect yourself while still getting your work seen.

Leslie will discuss not only the Terms of Service of some of the more popular tools, she’ll also offer some simple steps you can use to protect yourself and to generate income in the new economy.
