Subject: [Puptcrit] artists conference


Sorry to hog puptcrit about my website.  Here's an important announcement for artists who can attend a conference in Connecticut in April.  My friend, Joel Levitt, who was in charge of the arts for the Danbury school system, retired for health reasons.  It got him to thinking about all the health (and healthcare) challenges facing artists today, and so he put together this very informative event.  Here's some info:

Visual/Performing Artists

Health/Disability Conference 

 

Artists in Transition, an organization that works with artists and performers facing physical and/or mental health issues is having its inaugural conference on Sunday, April 11, 2010 from 12 noon - 5:00 pm at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT. We are co-sponsoring the conference, along with over 100 other local, state and national arts, health and advocacy organizations. 

 

Inspiring architect/sculptorTom Luckey will keynote and awesome entertainment will be provided by Our Time Theatre. There will be outstanding networking opportunities and 15 information-packed breakout sessions on diverse subjects such as healthcare, maximizing employment potential, grant writing, etc., plus speakers will include artists and performers who themselves are dealing with health and disability issues and making their art and lives a creative force!
