How do we devise our own arts career in a way that that moves us away from settling for survival and towards thriving in prosperity?
The second of GRT’s Collaborator Roundtable events, THE ART OF PROSPERITY features Makambe K Simamba in community conversation on the topics of creating your own arts life: your rituals, your intentions, your standards, your boundaries, and your overall practice.
Creators making their own work and directors working with creators are invited to join us on Friday, January 10, 2020 at 7 PM in Two Houses Brewery (1516 10 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T3C 0J5).
Space is limited. If you are interested in participating, please email Kate Stadel. Briefly outline your experience as a director/creator and why you are interested in attending.
Makambe is joining Ghost River in January to develop a new project entitled MAKAMBE SPEAKS. To learn more click here!
