FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: Oct. 29, 2020

This collaborative project was started in 2017 with the goal of providing professional development to early-mid career creatives, and takes place during the first three weeks of November. This series was founded to address the challenge that Black and Brown creatives in the Greater Austin area face in regards to launching their careers. The organizers of this series seek to provide practical skills that will provide motivated artists insight into the business of art and the cultivation of sustainable full-time careers.

All of the presentations will take place from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 12, and 19 via ZOOM webinar. Participants are encouraged to register via Evenbrite for additional details and updates about Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3.
