Workshop Series for Artists with Disabilities

VSA arts of Massachusetts and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston have collaborated to offer a series of workshops benefiting artists with disabilities who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge in promoting their art.

April 27, 2010,  4-7pm @ VSA

“Showing Your Work: A Clinic on Spaces and Approaches for Studio Artists”
The goal of the session is to give participants information that will help them think about the appropriate venues for their work and what is necessary to present their work professionally.  Every participant should leave with some ideas for taking next steps with their art.

Presenters:
Lorri Berenberg, Berenberg Gallery and curator
Lauren Geraghty, artist and curator
Hannah Goodwin, Manager of Accessibility, MFA
Jeffrey Melzack, artist and instructor

This session will be held in the Community Room, 1st Floor at the NonProfit Center, 89 South Street Boston, MA.  This is a Brown Bag Dinner.
