This Project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment of the Arts

A five 1/2-day professional development series covering the following topics is open to local artists and will assist Broward-based artists with advancing their knowledge and abilities in: public art; community design; civic and community engagement; building effective collaborations and partnerships; and developing and funding their own projects. Artists will receive training from national and local subject matter experts and will have opportunities to make connections with community redevelopment agencies, municipal public art representatives, community leaders and stakeholders, and other more experienced artists.

Starting and Funding Your Project Workshop
May 18, 2013 (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM) RSVP
Learn from the pros on the best ways to starting and funding your own project in areas you may have never before considered.  The focus will be on developing and securing funding for creative projects that can serve the needs of community redevelopment areas.  Faculty:  Marty Pottenger and Henning Haupt.

Marty Pottenger is a widely known solo performance artist and director with an extensive repertoire of projects and awards, Marty Pottenger has found her "big reason." In fact, throughout her journey as a theater artist, she has encountered many big reasons. From the critically successful "What It's Like To Be a Man" to the Obie-award-winning "City Water Tunnel #3," Pottenger's work has explored issues ranging from racism to economics, the women's movement to the war in the Balkans. Intertwining different media and researching oral histories, Pottenger uses theater to encourage people to think about issues, ask questions and engage in dialogue with their communities.
