SELF-PRODUCING AND EVENT PLANNING IN THE ARTS

Held in collaboration with Art Volt

Leadership & Collaboration

This workshop will introduce participants to self-producing and event planning from the perspective of artists and cultural workers. We will cover aspects such as building and managing a project, approaching organizations and presenters of interest, preparing communications, and increasing the accessibility of artistic events. The workshop aims to provide artists and cultural workers with introductory tools to self-produce, allowing them to realize their projects and effectively balance the administrative aspects of being an artist.

Concepts and skills presented in this workshop are relevant to anyone wanting to self-produce events. You do not have to be an artist or cultural worker to participate!
