Sometimes the art world can seem impenetrable. How can you as an artist break into it? And once you’ve broken into it, how do you make it?

Third Thursday in March, Artist Trust invites you to join this informal mentorship and networking event that gives artists of all disciplines a chance to sit down with artists and arts leaders in small groups for casual conversations about opportunities, issues, and challenges in the arts world.

*This event is free, but registration is required.
