Making Art Work: Professional Development Series
Making Art Work: Professional Development Series is back! Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre and Union Gallery are pleased to co-present the 2021–2022 Professional Development Series. The workshops are co-facilitated by local artists and arts professionals and geared towards emerging, mid-career and student artists and curators. Participants will gain enhanced experiential learning opportunities, develop a toolkit of skills in preparing for a career in the arts, and extend networks with Kingston’s contemporary art galleries.
The winter workshops will take place online, please register below to secure your spot. The Zoom link will be sent upon registration.
Please submit your questions about the topic in the box provided in the registration form. We will do our best to cover as many of the questions as possible during the workshop within time constraints.
Round Table Discussions
In the round table discussion series, a local artist, arts administrator, or arts academic brings forward a topic or burning question they want to discuss. They speak for 5 - 10 minutes to introduce the subject, and the rest of the session is an open conversation. Roundtables are non-hierarchical gatherings of artists and creatives to share with one another.
