The staff of the Maine Arts Commission is holding a series of workshops to share information and advice about a broad range of issues relevant to Maine’s artists, communities and cultural organizations. The panel style workshops will provide a forum to learn, to ask questions and to network with fellow artists from your region.

Sessions include: Technology and Marketing; Contemporary Art and Public Art; Community Arts, Traditional Arts, and Arts in Education. In addition, attendees can sign up for a Grant Doctor session. These sessions are individual appointments with a senior development associate at the Maine Arts Commission and will provide the participant with confidential and supportive grant writing counseling and objective feedback.

Contemporary artists, traditional artists, cultural administrators, educators, cultural entrepreneurs and community members are encouraged to take advantage of this day-long event. For a schedule of the 2008 summer workshops, more extensive details on the events, or for more information, visit the Maine Arts Commission website.
