Literary Artists Workshop

A module tailored to the needs of literary artists is currently in development. Working with literary artists to navigate the challenges of the rapidly-changing publishing industry, this workshop provides information and resources for poets and writers of fiction and non-fiction who seek to improve their careers. Topics include working with a publisher, publishing timelines, self-promotion and grants and residencies for writers. This workshop will be available as an “add-on” to the Core Curriculum Weekend and as part of the Online Learning Program.

REAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

This fundraising-related workshop enables participants to look at some of the strategies and practices around making and supporting community-engaged art, including ways to engage groups of people in the process, production, funding and distribution of the work. The workshop will use case studies to discuss grassroots fundraising, community partnerships, autonomy and integrity of one’s work, audience building and other issues. The workshop participants will work through a series of questions and exercises that will help to build strategies for successful community-based fundraising.
