CAA has received funding from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation to offer two additional years of National Career Development Workshops for artists in 2009–10. The grant allows CAA to continue the 2007–8 program in which ten workshops were presented at various locations in the United States.
Held in underserved areas, the workshops are designed to meet the specific needs of artists in each region. In the past, topics have included presentation skills, writing artist statements, networking, planning, grant preparation, and career options. The workshops have been highly successful, and CAA has forged partnerships with schools, art museums, co-op galleries, and art societies across the nation.
Artworks in Trenton, New Jersey, is the location for the first 2009–10 workshop. Scheduled for May 9, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, it will provide tools, tips, resources, best practices, and networking opportunities for artists. Also taking place is a postworkshop networking reception, just around the corner at the Mill Hill Saloon, 300 South Broad Street, in Trenton.
The cost for the complete day, including breakfast and lunch, is $25 ($15 for students and seniors). Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis; contact Artworks at 609-394-9436 to confirm your place. For details regarding the day’s schedule, write to Artworks or Susan Schear, CAA national workshop project consultant.
The Trenton workshop is cosponsored by the Arts and Business Council of Greater Trenton, in partnership with Artworks and the College of New Jersey.
