PCA’s 2009-10 Creative Conversation Series has been finalized! It will deal with the same topics as last year’s series (arts education, arts marketing/economic development, and arts access), but there will be a new focus on tangible goals or “next steps” for individuals, groups, and the community at large. This change is based on feedback from last year’s participants and serendipitous program alignment.
Conversations will be open to the public and widely publicized, but registration is required for participants.
PCA Members have priority registration.
Harvest Moon Catering will provide lunch for registered participants at each conversation.
Charlottesville Podcasting Network will provide podcasting technology for each of the conversations.
Here’s the schedule:
