This career-planning workshop is geared towards artists and creatives.
Through the instruction of Artist and Mentor Lyla Rye, participants will envision the conditions for their own success. Using a questionnaire and discussion model to identify goals and solutions, this workshop will cover everything from workspace, tools, materials, time management and critical feedback to notions of success and how to feel part of the art community.
