Workshops
Our virtual or in-person workshop events offer networking, training, and professional development to aid our community of immigrant and newcomer arts professionals in their transition to a new city, county, and a new professional landscape.
In the arts, it is vitally important for your skills to constantly be evolving and growing. These workshops are also a great opportunity to learn more about your skills, your craft, and to connect with others.
