Creative Career Building

Tioga Arts Council (TAC) is proud to present the ‘Creative Symposium’, a series of 6 Professional Development and Creative Networking events through out 2024. This series was made possible by a grant from NYSCA. It is free and open to all creatives, artist, writers – at any stage of their creative career. Our second event will be on Saturday April 20, from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Cloud Croft Studios Schoolhouse in Owego.

We are thrilled to have local artist, Anna Warfield, join us to discuss ‘Stepping Stones: Creative Career Building’

Often the best place to start is with folks you already know. Hear from peer artist, Anna Warfield, as they get candid on their artistic journey (hint: it’s not all glitter and rainbows). Then, through examples and group exercises you’ll clearly define your own unique vision for your artistic future, and set realistic goals to get you from where you are to where you want to be. We’ll wrap things up with a resource sharing session that will help build out your foundational knowledge and empower you moving forward.
