National Workshops for Artists
In locations around the country, CAA offers National Professional-Development Workshops for Artists on a range of topics, from health and safety in the studio to grant writing to professional relationship building. Each event is developed in collaboration with regional institutions to serve the specific interests of their local constituencies. The workshops are sustained by a generous grant from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
Below is preliminary information about the next four events. Check back periodically, as additional details will be announced during summer 2010.
