COFA TALK 7th APRIL 2009 - YES WE CAN

Come along and hear how artists deal with the life of an artist. FLYER

WHEN: 7th April 6:30pm
WHERE: COFA EG02
COST: FREE

Many creative people have extensive experience in developing
strategies to deal with a shortage of money or other resources;
taking the initiative is business as usual. So a recession does
not necessarily mean opportunities dry up, instead it can be a
chance to reconfigure; to work out creative solutions in finding
ways to exhibit work. Penelope Benton, Amy Griffiths and Jane
Naylor discuss how artists can take the initiative.
