CARFAC Artist Advocacy + Advice: Free Drop-In! Winter 2019
Dick Averns, CARFAC Alberta’s part-time Engagement Coordinator based in Calgary is available to hear from members, visual artists and arts organizations about concerns, issues or professional development needs. He will be holding free bi-monthly drop-in sessions in Calgary at a range of locations and is also able to visit your organization as part of CARFAC’s advocacy for best practices.
No Registration is required: first come first seen, or just drop in to chat and connect.
