Arts Symposium
November 14 & 15, 2009
University of Puget Sound, Wyatt Hall
Overview
Join us for the fourth annual Arts Symposium, an event dedicated to
providing local artists and arts organizations with nuts and bolts
information in order to become and remain successful in the arts. Choose
between a range of informational sessions presented by professionals and
educators who are concerned with your success.
New this year – check out our Artist Spotlight
featuring Robert Horner who is creating environmentally sensitive and
responsive public art for the Center for Urban Waters in Tacoma. Also,
we are running two arts clinics this year: Washington Lawyers for the
Arts is offering low-cost one-on-one confidential consultations on
Saturday and Sunday and Artist Trust and Shunpike are pairing up on
Saturday afternoon for a free drop-in clinic; stop by and see how these
organizations can assist local artists and arts organizations.
