Arts Services Inc invites you to the quiet oasis of Tifft Nature Preserve, just outside the city of Buffalo, for a two-day mini conference curated to refocus your career in the arts. Be inspired by our distinguished speakers, restart your creative engine through meaningful discussions, and when you need some fresh air, five miles of explorable walking trails are right at your fingertips.
Back for its third year, the Creative Professionals Exchange was created in 2019 to help regional artists and arts administrators make connections, foster complex and sensitive conversations, and to introduce creative ideas.
Don’t miss out on being a part of this unforgettable event! We’re looking for presenters and presentation proposals for CPX: Refresh that are positive, helpful, and ready to help participants shake off the dust and propel themselves into the New Year.
Presentation or workshop topics may include but are not limited to:
- Mindfulness, finding work/life balance, burnout management
- Arts and nature
- Sources of inspiration
- Salary negotiation, getting paid what you’re worth
- Updating resumes, CVs, portfolios, websites, headshots, archives, etc.
- Budgeting, fundraising, marketing, promotion
- Finding community or finding your niche
- Making meaningful connections with collaborators or audiences
Sessions can be presented in-person or virtually and each session will run 60 minutes in length.
Selected presenters will receive a small stipend which can be applied to cover the full CPX registration fee.
All presentations will be recorded and shared, along with any supplemental materials or handouts, with registrants who are attending virtually or may not be able to attend at the time of the presentation.
Deadline for proposals is 5:00 pm on Friday, November 19, 2021.
Speakers must be ready to show proof of full vaccination for COVID-19 if attending in-person.
