Springboard Artist Workshops Travel Well!
Did you know that Springboard can bring our workshops directly to your organization and constituency? Springboard workshops have proven to be a cost-effective way for arts organizations, schools and other groups to outsource professional development training for their creative community. We can present our standard workshops to your constituents or we can work together to create workshops specially designed to meet the unique needs of your artists and budget. Give Artist Services a call to discuss the possibilities. We look forward to working with you and your artists!
