National Professional-Development 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 have been sustained by two generous grants from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
2011–12 Workshops
The School of the Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University will host the next National Professional-Development Workshop for Artists on Saturday, October 1, 2011. The one-day event, called, “Toolkit for a Sustainable Life in the Arts: Ideas XS, S, M, L, XL,” will take place 8:00 AM–7:30 PM at the Grace Street Theater in Richmond.
This year, CAA has held workshops in Baltimore, Maryland (March 26, 2011) and Trenton, New Jersey (May 14, 2011). CAA will announce future workshops later this summer.
