With online tools becoming increasingly prominent in the age of social distancing, one effective approach is scheduling a virtual studio visit. During this workshop, Ninth Street Collective members Audra Lambert and Heather Zises will offer tips on how to successfully plan, promote and execute a remote visit, even if you do not have access to your studio.
The workshop will be hosted on Zoom. Attendees will receive a Zoom link via email on July 17.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice.
