DESCRIPTION:With each “Call for Entries – Call to Artists” sent out\, Tohono Chul’s Exhibits Department receives numerous inquiries wondering “what exactly are they looking for?” \nTohono Chul’s own Director of Arts & Engagement\, James Schaub\, will address this question and others through a discussion that will examine the myriad things artists must consider when creating exhibition proposals\, submitting their work for thematic exhibitions\, and presenting their work as professional artists. The discussion will start with a 45-minute PowerPoint presentation followed by a question and answer session that is likely to generate a lively and productive conversation. \nThis event is FREE and artists of all levels are invited to attend. For easy access – please park in the Parking Lot off of Northern Avenue. (7211 N. Northern Avenue) \nPlease RSVP as space for this FREE program will be limited URL:https://localyardandgarden.com/event/presentation-what-are-curators-looking-for LOCATION:Tohono Chul – Education Center #1\, 7211 N.
