Past: July Monthly Meeting - Art Commissions Discussion

Prince William Art Society will meet at 12298 Cotton Mill Drive, Woodbridge, VA, 22192 at 7:30 pm on July 22nd. We will open with a program by member Elena Jochum, a 3rd generation artist, on the topic of art commissions. Elena has been painting her entire life and went to Maryland Institute College of Art for a degree in Fine Art in addition to a BS in Psychology from Towson University. She has been working as a graphic designer for companies like National Geographic and Disney for over 16 years.


Elena Jochum recently showcased her watercolor “Subject or Matter” at a juried exhibition through Virginia Watercolor Society at the Academy Center of the Arts. She also showcased her work at Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts, Native Plants of Virginia Symposium at George Mason University, Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm and a booth for her new business, Tidewater Trove, at the Manassas Bee Festival.


Elena Jochum prepared information on how to get started or improve your outcomes in booking an art commission with clients. We will go over promoting your work, bulletproofing your written agreements and payment methods. This will improve your outcome when being commissioned now and in the future. This meeting is free and open to the public, who are cordially invited to attend:  https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/
