Creating Your Artistic/Activist Strategic Plan
Monday, October 7, 2019 6:30-9PM

Join us with Advancing Arts Forward for opportunity for you to take active control over your own career, worklife path, next steps and overall personal-professional goals. In this workshop, we will be using concepts of mission, vision, values, SWOT analysis, and strategic planning applied to your own artistic and/or activist paths. As an artist, arts manager, activist, entrepreneur, startup, and/or beyond you will be offered various strategies for "professional" development to create your own strategic plan. You will leave this workshop with a personalized plan to take forth into your life journey. This will be a decolonized and liberated space.
