Description

We're wrapping up the career series with an open discussion on the trials and tribulations associated with working in the arts community. This will be a roundtable discussion about being a young artist in Kingston and Canada, focusing on some of the things we think need to be improved and sharing in some of the successes we've had. This is great for anyone who leads a theatre company, runs a dance project, produces their own work in the community or is a young arts leader. If time permits, participants will have the opportunity to network with other attendees after the discussion.

This event is an extension of our "I am an Artist" initiative.
