READ MORE: THE BIGGEST ARTIST COMMUNITY IN THE SUN CITY<\/a><\/p>\nWho Can Attend the Workshop<\/p>\n
MCAD is opening registration to artists working in any discipline as long as they live within about 75 minutes of El Paso and are at least 18 years old. There is no cost to join the workshop, but participants must register in advance and commit to the full two day, 10 hour experience.<\/p>\n
Why MCAD Is Offering This Training<\/p>\n
According to the City of El Paso\u2019s Quality of Life Managing Director Ben Fyffe, artists frequently ask MCAD how to advance their careers and navigate the professional challenges that come with being a creative. Bringing Artist INC Express to the region is part of the city\u2019s plan to strengthen the local arts ecosystem by giving artists access to the kind of training that helps them grow.<\/p>\n
A Program with National Impact<\/p>\n
Artist INC has been running for 15 years and has supported more than 2,000 artists across the country. The program is funded in part by the Windgate Foundation, the Hallmark Corporate Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.<\/p>\n
How to Register<\/p>\n
The workshop will be held Saturday, February 21, and Sunday, February 22. Space is limited, so creatives interested in attending can find registration details and the sign up link on MCAD\u2019s official website. This is a valuable opportunity for local artists to build skills, make connections, and take the next step in their professional journey.<\/p>\n
