artists and organizations, board development for arts organizations, arts education resources, and much more.

HERE IS HOW THE ARTS TUNE-UP WORKS!

There will be several tables set up with an arts expert/consultant
located at each table.

Locate the table that has the topic you want to learn more about and
join that table. Each table discussion will last for 25 minutes. After
25 minutes an announcement will be made, indicating that that session is
over. Then rotate to another table with a topic you want to learn more
about as the sessions repeat. There will be a series of 5 round-robin
sessions of 25 minutes each.

You are welcome to come by for one session or stay for all five.
