Join us this Thursday at Le Moyne College for an Arts Entrepreneurship Event.

Arts Entrepreneurship: Careers and Cultural Organizations
When? Thursday, Nov. 18, 4-5 PM,
Where? Curtin Special Events Room, in the Campus Center at Le Moyne College

Three Syracuse arts and cultural entrepreneurs will share their professional experiences and discuss the challenges of keeping arts organizations financially afloat:
1-Carol Charles, of the One Village Dance Centre and Community Folk Art Center.
2-Dik Cool, founder and director of the Syracuse Cultural Workers progressive arts publishing house.
3- Steven Kern, director of the Everson Museum.

Following the individual presentations, there will be a break-out session so that audience members can join one of the speakers in a smaller group discussion, followed by a final question-and-answer large group session. This is a valuable opportunity to learn more about the possibilities and challenges of working in the business of the arts.

The event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Center for Urban and Regional Applied Research, the Marion Ewing Kauffman Foundation, and the Economics Club. For more information, contact Caroline Tauxe at tauxecs@lemoyne.edu

We hope to see you there!

New Formula!

Last night I wandered over to Little Italy in Syracuse to attend the opening reception of New Formula and Craft Chemistry’s one year celebration. The air was chilly, the people welcoming and the art, wonderfully fun. The pulling of a string, and popcorn shot out of a box. Little secret spaces were contained within the interactive installation piece. One in particular, housed a hand made out of popsicle sticks and was surrounded by lights, whose dewey glow within the box made it look like a night sky. Sadly, I showed up just after The David Wax Museum played a set, so I can’t really comment on the music portion but I heard it was a great performance. Overall, I think it was great event and I rather enjoyed it. Great space, great people. Happy Birthday C2!
