The Fostering Art and Culture Project is an exciting organization of unique partners working to grow the creative economy in Franklin County, MA. The arts are a powerful industry in New England. We influence spending, have employment power, create a regional identity, and generate interest and excitement. Our efforts help make "home" more vibrant and interesting, and bring cultural dollars to our towns that support the creative minds at work in their studios as well as the economy in a range of levels and industries. Our current goals are to be a continued source of networking opportunities, information and collaboration. We heard from participants at the Creative Economy Summit II (March 2011-Shelburne Falls, MA) that the artist community wants a stronger connection to the business community. Therefore Summit III works to energize this relationship.
Summit theme overview: it is our intent to provide presentations and workshops that benefit artists, the arts and business community. The goal is for participants to leave with concrete ideas and a wider network of resources and people. Workshop proposals that showcase the relationship between creativity and its application (in the marketplace) will be selected based on the mutual benefit to the creative and business communities. Skills based content, hands-on workshops, presentations that highlight connectivity between arts and business, application of media & social networking, collaboration and fund raising are all topics of interest and will be selected based on clarity of points participants will leave with.
Criteria used for selection process: the summit committee will be reviewing applications for content fitting theme, experience and enthusiasm, uniqueness, audience benefit, and availability. Presentations can be one of three lengths: 45, 75 or 90 minutes (including q + a). Every effort to accommodate your preference for scheduling will be made, but flexibility is appreciated. Proposals are welcomed from all interested parties.
Deadline:
Proposals to be received by January 6, 2012.
