“This workshop offers unique insights in discovering your creative identity, then guides you to become a successful independent artist. It helps creators reconcile the search for self-expression with the process of marketing, and empowering their artistic and professional destinies.”

— Eduardo Villacis, Professor, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador
