ASI is excited to introduce our newest professional development series, “From the Ground Up,” which will feature workshops and trainings for newcomers in a number of exciting topics.
For our first two events, we’re thrilled to have our board member, Attorney Mike de Freitas, at the helm to present two workshops about starting a nonprofit arts organization. These events are free to attend either in-person* or virtually.
