Our Workshops
We work with state and local arts organizations, foundations, colleges and universities nationwide to provide customized professional development opportunities to artists.
If your organization serves professional artists who are interested in advancing their careers, we will work with you and your staff to select and present a workshop that will both fit your budget and best suit the needs of your artists. Download the 2013 Workshop Guide for complete descriptions of our offerings. After learning more about our workshops, be sure to check out the Host a Workshop page for information on how we work with partner organizations.
