Should I Attend?
If the thought of e-mailing a stranger with an idea makes you nervous 鈥� this workshop is for you.
Interested in enrolling in a practicum or an internship? This workshop will be helpful if:
- you know someone at a local arts organization or company, but don鈥檛 know how to propose a practicum;
- you have an idea of what you want to learn through a practicum, but don鈥檛 know which organizations you should reach out to
- you have a dream arts organization, artist or company and you鈥檇 love to propose a practicum 鈥撯�揵ut they have no idea you exist;
Thr truth is that writing 鈥榩itch鈥� and proposal e-mails is something you鈥檒l do a lot in arts work, and it鈥檚 a great transferable skill that applies to many careers.
Please bring
Something to write with and something to write on. A laptop or internet connected device will be helpful but is not required.
