Our 2nd Annual conference,

The Next Generation:
Starting an Art Career in the Hamptons

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

 

Send us your thoughts on the topic, on issues facing young artists and potential speakers, and we will post them here.

 

The panel-formatted meeting is for artists, arts institutions, galleries, and local granting organizations to examine basic questions about how to start and nuture an art career -- what specific problems or issues are the next generation of artists dealing with? How does the arts community grow and thrive?
