General agenda and format for each workshop:
• Friday, 6:30-8 pm: Participants will convene for information
sharing/
community building/networking, with refreshments served, of course! This
introduces the participants to each other, with information provided about
Arts Wisconsin, Wisconsin Arts Board and Springboard for the Arts, and
to preview the presentations for the next day. Some of the receptions
are connected to a local art opening, performance, exhibition or event.
• Saturday, 9 am – 5 pm: Two workshop components (specifically chosen for each workshop), plus a third facilitated discussion on a topic of concern to artists, such as digitizing portfolios and “monetizing” websites. Artists will be surveyed about these topics before the workshop weekend.
