Building Connections, Strengthening Communities: Collaborative Opportunities for Native Artists and Cultural Organizations

The day-long pre-conference will feature sessions tailored to the business development needs of artists and authors featuring marketing strategies; copyright, and licensing training; working with galleries/publishers/collectors, as well as sessions that feature model programs highlighting library and museum support for local artists and authors in exhibit development and presentations. All the sessions will provide extensive resources that will ensure attendees gain practical skills.
