We are excited to announce that we will be resuming the Alternator Chats in the new year with a series dedicated to professional artistic development. The 2021 winter series are all about helping you reach your 2021 art-related new year’s resolutions and goals!

Artists and creatives from all disciplines and stages of their careers are invited to participate in ZOOM sessions taking place on Thursdays from 5-6 p.m. from January 7 - February 25, 2021. This eight-part series will provide an opportunity to connect with artists and professionals around topics such as grant and proposal writing, ways to maintain an art-life balance, selling your artwork, and tax tips for artists.

These free, informal sessions are ideal for those who are interested in learning more about logistic and practical matters involved in being an artist -- the things they don’t necessarily teach you in school, and provide an opportunity to learn how your peers are coping, and to share techniques and frustrations of being a working artist. 

The Alternator’s Artistic & Administrative Director Lorna McParland will provide an overview of the Alternator’s professional programming spaces, application materials, and answer questions about the application process.

This session is ideal for artists who are interested in submitting proposals to be considered as part of the Alternator’s 2022 professional programming schedule.

Facilitated by Lorna McParland

This Alternator Chat will be recorded and made available on our website.
