Greetings,

 
I hope you will be able to join us for the first Arts Lab, from 10:30-12:30 on May 2nd, at City Hall in Committee Room 3. (please see flyer attached)
 
The Arts Lab brings together knowledge about youth arts, culture and creative enterprises to explore what's working, what isn't, who's doing what and where we go next. The 2012 Arts Lab focuses on "The Business of Youth Arts".  
 
Who should attend?
  • Arts organizations or artists working to train, build and support youth arts enterprise and/or creative business
  •  Stakeholders who support youth arts enterprises and creative businesses as a sustainable investment in our city's future
    *Young artists or arts entrepreneurs aspiring to build a career/business/social enterprise in the arts and culture sector/creative industries are also welcome.
Whether or not you can attend the Arts Lab please take 5 minutes to complete our online survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QHY9NV2)          
 
The results of this survey will guide Arts Lab discussions and contribute to the final '2012 Arts Lab Report: The Business of Youth Arts in Toronto', which will be made available to those working in the sector.
 
Given the valuable work that you do I hope that you will be able to join us for the exciting new event, or send a representative in your stead.
