Offering an array of quarterly sessions, our seminars, workshops, and panels challenge and educate artists in all areas of their work. Sessions are developed and facilitated by noted professionals in their field, and seek to train artists in the skills needed to become well respected and “in-demand” artists. The daylong sessions include a lunch break (not included in cost) and culminate with a networking session where artists can engage in sharing of ideas and experiences. Registration may be necessary for some events and members are encouraged to take advantage of the discounted entry fees to selected sessions.
