This is a fantastic workshop series for entrepreneurs and creatives. It's not only knowledge building - it's you creating YOUR plan for the future.

Disclaimer: Even though Kym Cochran of Newgrit is a certified facilitator for the "Business of Art" workshop series, she will not be conducting any sessions.

🎨Don't Miss Your Chance to Join Us for Our Final Chapter of CCI’s Business of Art Training Series this Fall 2024!🎨

CCI’s Final Business of Art Training Series will meet via Zoom on Wednesdays from 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Pacific) / 5:00 - 8:00 PM (Eastern).

This culminating event brings together seasoned trainers and graduates of our recent Teaching the Business of Art: A Community Knowledge Exchange. It will be an opportunity to celebrate our community, share success stories, and honor the journey that has unfolded over the years. Participants will experience our signature curriculum and learn from new facilitators who are carrying the Business of Art legacy into their own communities.

Monday, March 18 is Transit Drivers Appreciation Day.

So hop on a SBMTD bus and say, thank you. A big fat lovey thank you. These are the patient, kind, capable people who keep us moving.

For Poetry Passages, we chose to honor the day with bags of candy and an appreciation card. A little token we hope expresses that sentiment to each driver.

We can hardly wait to have the poetry panels up on their buses for all of April!

this Monday,
take a bus & say thx ... or at least give a friendly wave!
