The deadlines for this opportunity has passed.

Dick Averns, CARFAC Alberta’s part-time Engagement Coordinator based in Calgary, is available to hear from members, visual artists and arts organizations about concerns, issues or professional development needs. He will be holding free bi-monthly drop-in sessions in Calgary at a range of locations and is also able to visit your organization as part of CARFAC’s advocacy for best practices.

No registration is required—first come first seen, or just drop in to chat and connect.
