After a very successful first round of ART.WORK Professional Development Workshops for Artists, we’re happy to report that we will be continuing with these initiatives into 2011.

The ART.WORK Workshops are made possibly by the generous support from the Ontario Arts Council, the City of Windsor, our membership, and Steven Mayo and Robyn Molyneau.

We wanted to extend a special thank you to everyone who attended any of these workshops along with our fantastic guest faculty, Tom Lucier, Lucy Howe, and Zeke Moores.

Stay tuned for announcements regarding the round of ART.WORK Workshops!

PS. Following up with last night’s workshop, here’s the link to the book that Zeke mentioned:

Starting this Fall, the Arts Council Windsor & Region is launching a brand new Professional Development Workshop Series for local artists called, ART.WORK.

ART.WORK will launch in September and run as a monthly professional development workshop series led by approachable and knowledgeable local artists and experts for all members of Windsor-Essex’s artist communities.

The workshops series will provide artists at all stages of their careers and practices with usable and accessible information, examples, and hands-on experience in learning the art of being a professional artist.

ART.WORK workshops are only $5 for ACWR Members and $10 for non-members.
