Creating Effective Arts Assemblies for K-8 Students, Part 1* Register now!
Converting your work as a professional artist or arts organization into an effective arts learning experience for students is itself an art form. How do you engage large groups of students? How many (and which) facets of your art should be addressed? What common assumptions, myths, and mistakes should you avoid?
Designed as an introduction for artists and organizations developing their first assembly, this workshop explores the elements of an effective arts assembly for school settings, from the ground up.
John Bertles, Kennedy Center Presenter.
Location: Artisan Building (1901 Del Paso Boulevard, Sacramento)

Home is Where the Art Is: Making Art that Makes Connections Register now!
How can we use art-making to find connections with every student and classroom we work with? This question, foundational as it is to our work, can sometimes stump even the most seasoned teaching artist. In this workshop, we look at the work of regional artists of color who explore concepts of home, self and history in their work and discuss strategies for using free media resources to bring these artists and their work to life for your students. These artists from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds ask questions in their art that can spark conversations and art-making with students in any classroom, as well as providing points of entry for integrating your arts lessons with social studies and current event curricula in any grade.
Bonus session: Bring your laptop with iTunes installed and learn how to create your own thematic video playlists for FREE in the last optional 30 minutes of the workshop.
Kristin Farr & Sabrina Klein, Teaching Artists Organized (TAO) Presenters.
Location: S. Natomas Community Center (2921 Truxel Road, Sacramento)

Documenting Your Work as an Artist: Telling Your Story with Images Register now!
Grant applications, marketing materials, calls-to-artists, archives – there are many reasons why you need quality images of your work as an artist and a teaching artist. But often, these needs are greater than the resources available to get the job done. And even if you have the means, how do you know which images will best tell your story? In this workshop, you will learn to use simple video and photo equipment to document and market your work in an effective and compelling way.
Robert Ansell, Gary Dinnen & Chelsea Greninger, Presenters.

The Pollock-Krasner Foundation’s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and demonstrable financial need, whether professional, personal or both. The Foundation’s mission is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as professional artists over a significant period of time.
Application Guidelines
The Foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. There are no deadlines. The Foundation encourages applications from artists who have genuine financial needs that are not necessarily catastrophic. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time. The Foundation will consider need on the part of an applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living, including medical expenses. The size of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist. Professional exhibition history will be taken into consideration. Artists must be actively exhibiting their current work in professional artistic venues, such as gallery and museum spaces.

The Blue Goose Gallery in Chester is looking to turn their gallery into an artists’ co-op. 
“We are looking for artists interested in being a member of the new co-op. If you are an artist of any medium (paint, photography, wood, glass, jewelry, sculpture, fabric, etc., etc.), or you know an artist who you think would be a great addition, please respond to this email as soon as possible. We envision having 30 – 35 member artists who will enjoy being part of a thriving and fabulous gallery. The gallery will offer an exciting range of art mediums and styles, from well-known artists to emerging talents, and will host summer art shows with rotating featured artists.
Local and area artists are welcome and it would be great to also have representation from Reno, Redding, Red Bluff, Cottonwood, Chico, Paradise, Susanville, Quincy, Graeagle and other areas.
Hours of operation of the Gallery could be maximized during the busy summer months, and minimized during the winter months. Artists from out-of-town could choose to help at the gallery more days in the summer so they don’t need to drive in during snowy weather.”
