Register

This three day producer’s lab provides emerging artists the practical tools and care-centered practices to create and produce their own works. Through this workshop, artists will learn about applying for grants and creating feasible budgets, gain insights into access and care frameworks for producing models, and create adaptable project infrastructures that support the clarity and creativity of the process. The workshop will empower artists to cultivate their own vision through the development of new works, and offer viable pathways to bringing their own work to life.

This registration is open to folks with any level of experience with artistic producing. However, this workshop has limited capacity, and is on a first come first serve basis. You will receive a confirmation of your participation, and if the workshop is full, you will be put on a waitlist. If you can no longer attend after receiving your confirmation email, please let us know so we can maximize our number of participants.
