What to Expect

Networking
Working as an artist can be isolating. It is important to connect with other artists, makers and arts organizations to create a sense of community. This one-day conference will give you opportunities to learn and grow.

Inspiration
Art is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. This conference provides the inspiration you need to move your artistic life to the next level—whatever that means to you.

Practical & Useful Knowledge
Your creative journey can grow into a business with knowledge and expertise. This conference will help you add practical knowledge to your creative toolbox.

Motivation
Artist block can be a debilitating inhibitor to your creative journey. Sometimes all it takes is immersing yourself in a refreshing environment to kick your creative self into high gear. To quote Picasso, “Inspiration must find you working.”
