Come See What's Good (& Free!) for Artists

Central Resources for Creative Artists, Writers, Musicians, Filmmakers

Weds. Nov. 12, 4-5:30 pm OR Sat. Nov. 15, 10-11:30 am

Creative visual artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers are invited to discover the free resources at Central Library to help move their careers to the next level. Meet fellow artists, get Sue Greenberg's expert recommendations for succeeding in the business of being an individual artist, find out about funding possibilities and see what maker-space tools (i.e. the new recording studio?) you can use in the Creative Experience.

Cosponsored by Volunteer Lawyers & Accountants for the Arts and the Grants & Foundation Center at Central Library.

These free sessions will be held in Central’s Creative Experience space on the first floor. Contact me or phone 314-539-0357 for more information or to find out about free parking.
