RAWednesdays

September 8, 7-9 PM

Our September RAWednesday will be a DIY Marketing Workshop with five local artists and business owners providing insight on how they effectively market their talents and companies located at 4043 North Ravenswood (follow the signs to the second floor.) The event is from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM on September 8th.

Our guest speaker and panel moderator will be Lisa Canning, founder of the Institute for Arts Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneur The Arts.

The panel includes:

Kevin Swallow, a self-taught artist and volunteer for FOTA and manager of FOTA’s newsletter

Lea Tobin, co-owner of Astonrep Theatre Company and a graphic designer

Mimi Clayton, founder and director of Mimi’s Organic Exchange

Fernando Mastrioianni, owner of Black Bird Gallery and Framing

Q&A session will follow, so bring your questions! Refreshments will be served. A $5.00 donation is suggested to cover our expenses.

RAWednesdays are FREE and open to the public to develop a network for artists and businesses located in the Ravenswood Corridor. Our goal is to bring people together to foster dialogs, exchange information, and to create a greater sense of community. Most importantly, the goal is to inform the general public of the unique diversity of the arts and industry that exists in Ravenswood.
