I have a question for all the artisans here:

Two women are thinking of opening an artists resource center in a rural area 30 miles from the largest metro area. This artisan center would not offer theatre/music. It would have a gallery, coffee shop and in the back would be areas for painters, drawing, writing, metal working, photography. There would also be artisan business resouces and workshops - for things like marketing, taxes, how to turn your art into a business.
