[cid:image001.jpg@01CA4814.2CA81840] Arts Symposium November 14 & 15 University of Puget Sound, Wyatt Hall Overview Join us for the fourth annual Arts Symposium, an event dedicated to providing local artists and arts organizations with nuts and bolts information in order to become and remain successful in the arts. Choose between a range of informational sessions presented by professionals and educators who are concerned with your success. New this year - check out our Artist Spotlight featuring Robert Horner who is creating environmentally sensitive and responsive public art for the Center for Urban Waters in Tacoma. Also, we are running two arts clinics this year: Washington Lawyers for the Arts is offering low-cost one-on-one confidential consultations on Saturday and Sunday and Artist Trust and Shunpike are pairing up on Saturday afternoon for a free drop-in clinic; stop by and see how these organizations can assist local artists and arts organizations.
