Well into the quarantine, artists are seeking creative ways to share their art and practice. With online tools becoming increasingly prominent in the age of social distancing, one effective approach is scheduling a virtual studio visit. During this workshop, Ninth Street Collective members Audra Lambert and Heather Zises will offer tips on how to successfully plan, promote and execute a remote visit, even if you do not have access to your studio.

The workshop will be hosted on Zoom. Attendees will receive a Zoom link via email.

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the NAACP LDF
