 Greetings!
School's nearly out, and we're cooking up some great summer surprises for you here at CAP. In the coming month, we'll have the official results of TWO major projects in which we participated over the past year, both with our friends from Americans for the Arts: the Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study and the Local Arts Index project. Together, these two reports will show that the Arts truly MEAN BUSINESS in Tompkins County.
In the meantime, I want to PROFUSELY thank everyone who attended, promoted, followed, or participated in this year's remarkably successful Spring Writes Literary Festival! When all was said and done, the 27 events at the 3rd annual literary gathering attracted more than 1,600 attendees. To see some of the highlights of the weekend, visit the festival Facebook page.
You'll find plenty of great opportunities for artists and arts organizations to squeeze in between graduation parties in this month's ArtsLetter. Those and more are listed below...
Cheers!
Brett Bossard, Executive Director |

A well-written statement and bio are essential for your website, portfolio, and for presentations of your work to galleries, grant panels, and your audience. In this workshop Carrie will guide you through the steps needed to create simple, precise, and effective statements and bios. She will also talk about one-on-one consultations offered in August and September and what you could expect to accomplish during the consultation's individualized review. (See description below.)
