Who is this session for?

What is the How-To series?
How-To is a series of webinars, guided by a Community Arts Training (CAT) Institute alum, that focuses on the practical skills and frameworks for maintaining a community-based creative practice or career. It provides insights into how collaborative, arts-based initiatives are successfully begun and sustained over time, rather than just reviewing the projects themselves.
