Share your know-how, submit a workshop proposal!
I Heart Art: Portland is officially back from a holiday hiatus, and we’re busy planning our programing launch for March. That means WE NEED YOU! We are currently taking proposals for our 2012 business-development workshop series. This year we plan to host six workshops, two Mixer-Match sessions and a minimum of two salon discussions. But we can’t do any of this without you!
The Details:
We are looking for six workshops that appeal to a broad base of makers such as; metalsmiths, textile arts, ceramicists, painters, jewelers and photographers, to name a few. We want topics that are beneficial to the creative community of Portland and that are aimed to advance the skills and know-how of those creative entrepreneurs. This year we are particularly interested in workshops developed to appeal to advanced-level business development skills; i.e. bookkeeping, accounting and taxes, and inventory tracking, etc.
All workshops are held on Saturday from 11 am – 1:30 pm (two hours of instruction and one 30 minute break.) You should also know that while I Heart Art: Portland provides a location, seating and minimal staffing for each workshop, we require a self-sufficient workshop structure. All instruction is the responsibility of the Instructor. In exchange for sharing your knowledge, we’ll compensate you a cool $150.
To get your creative ideas flowing, take a look at our list of workshops for the past two years, then jot down your plan and send us your proposal. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
NOTE: Review of proposals begins February 28th, 2012. Confirmation of engagement with I Heart Art: Portland on March 2, 2012.
