What an exciting time it is here at the studio.  Lilla, Susan and Joanne are busy packing up to head across the pond to Brighton UK for the Global Art Gathering. This exciting and revolutionary workshop is being held at the stunning Brighton Dome next week.

Passports are out and ready to go with these fabulous “I Heart Art” and Lilla Rogers Studio School buttons that just came in!

Lilla’s been busy creating and designing her gorgeous jewelry that she’ll be wearing for the event!

Lilla snuck this photo of me working on one of the creative activities she’s doing in Brighton next Friday! Her lucky staff were her test cases and I can attest the attendees are in for a treat.  It was so much fun and a great learning experience.

Lilla’s trustworthy travel bag for Europe is buttoned with love from all of her artists and is ready to go!

Sadly, this event is sold out but we will be hearing from the ladies on their adventures in England and plan on bringing you live updates. In the meantime, read about more of the great things going on with Make Art That Sells here.

Stay tuned for more updates from Brighton and safe travels to everyone.

We’ve got some amazing new categories this year. Lilla has given our artists her own trend report and they knocked it out of the park! This is our best collection yet. See our take on nautical, watercolor wildflowers, boho, baby animals, floral ephemera, and more. Here’s a teeny tiny sampling. (Ready to buy or license, pre-show? Contact us!

Why do art directors love to buy, license and commission our artists’ work? Because they see our work showcased in top trend books, all over Pinterest, Instagram, featured in Land of Nod and Crate and Barrel, and on products sold in tons of shops all over the world, for starters. Our artists lead the way. Our artists’ art sells product.
