Luncheon Series
Arts Connect Luncheons are intended to create an opportunity for the local and regional arts community as well as arts industry providers, arts lovers and supporters to come together, to listen to guest presenters, share their thoughts, their information, ideas and resources, explore beneficial collaborations and to provide a networking forum that cultivates relationships and strengthens the connectivity and conversations between the many art forms. An informational table will be available to share promotional or printed materials. All are welcome. |
|
Each luncheon will feature a guest speaker who will talk about their personal and professional experiences as well as share anecdotal lessons learned along the way. There will be an informal "meet and greet" period prior to the luncheon and a question and answer opportunity following the presentation.
