Please submit your proposal by March 2, 2015

Hello, and thanks for considering the Creative Growth Visiting Artist Workshop program.

Before submitting a workshop proposal, we request that you schedule a tour of our Oakland studio or attend one of our monthly volunteer tours. Visiting the Studio will serve in the understanding of what is possible to undertake within our facility, Creative Growth’s diverse classes and media, and most importantly a visit will give you a chance to meet our staff and artists. Please contact: becki@creativegrowth to schedule a tour.

Visiting Artist Workshops can be from two, to five days in duration, working with 8-10 Creative Growth artists and the assistance of one lead teacher. Workshops will be scheduled through late fall, 2015. Please include in your proposal any scheduling preference.

Submit your proposal along with artist statement, bio and your response to the questions below by March 2, 2015, to:
Becki Couch-Alvarado
