A message from Nikki Hunt at Springboard for the Arts, based in Saint Paul, Minnesota: In partnership with the Minnesota State Arts Board and Lake Region Arts Council, we are presenting free professional development workshops for artists of all disciplines and all stages in their careers. Artists living in Fargo, North Dakota are also eligible to apply for the workshops for artists living in Region 4 of Minnesota. This includes all ten sessions of our Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists workshops in West Central Minnesota starting on May 22, 2010. The application deadline is today, Monday, April 26 and I hope that you will apply and/or please pass this information on to your fellow artist colleagues in Fargo. Below is a list of workshops that artists in Fargo may apply for via the online application at http://www.springboardforthearts.org/Workshops/ADP.asp Artists may select to attend all ten sessions of our Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists workshops, designed especially for individual artists of all disciplines and at all stages of their career and single, day-long intensives concentrating on Strategic Planning, Fundraising, Public Relations, and Internet presented by Creative Capital.
