NOT REAL ART Is Hosting A One-Day Conference With Speakers Including Hueman, Logan Hicks, and Many More

Scott “Sourdough” Power, artist and co-founder of Crewest Studio, believes that pure art is inherently inclusive. His studio, a creative communications company dedicated to art, design and creative culture, is bringing that ethos to life with NOT REAL ART, a multi-faceted platform dedicated to promoting and supporting artists including an upcoming artists’ conference in Los Angeles on March 16, 2019.

The project began with the NOT REAL ART Podcast, an ongoing, unfiltered talk show format where Sourdough and his long-time collaborator, artist Man One discuss their mutual love (and hate) for today’s art, design, and creative culture. Now, Power is extending the NOT REAL ART spirit into a new unique first-of-its-kindcreativeconferenceforartistsonSaturdayMarch16t h in Los Angeles.

NOT REAL ART Conference for Artists is a one-day learning event for artists, designers and creatives (at all levels) to share, network and grow professionally. Attendees will learn from top experts and artists about strategic issues: protecting their intellectual property (IP), licensing their IP and pitching their IP to Hollywood. Topics will include: How to Legally Protect Your Art; Selling Art on Social Media; How To License Your Art; Curating Art on the Street, among others. Sure to be a popular panel, “Pitching Your Art to Hollywood” will provide practical insights on developing art for entertainment properties in the wild world of content creators and disruptors like Netflix, Apple, and Amazon.
