Role Call! A Session for All North Carolina Artists
Tuesday, Sept. 29, 3–4:30 p.m.
What is the role you play in the arts? We will look at definitions and roles. Many arts organizations have spoken about the need for the arts to continue during the pandemic, and many still are unsure of the way forward. Artists who have never considered teaching artist work can find in this session ways to begin again and pivot. Performances are still needed, and the process to move performances or literary and visual arts work online can be daunting. Not every artist wants to be a teaching artist; however, tools used by teaching artists can help performing, literary and visual artists alike. Teaching artists can re-examine their current roles and find new direction and inspiration.
