Our 2018/2019 Schedule for FIELD/WORK focuses on the core tactical components of any artists’ professional development. Intermingled with public events are Resident-Only Working Sessions primarily structured around discussion with guest experts. These working sessions also offer peer support and a knowledge exchange to help further the development of one another’s artist plans.
