ArtWorks Reminder

Hey, gang, I just wanted to remind Denverites and Front Rangers about the upcoming free forum about Careers for Artists with Disabilities. Here's the info again:

ART WORKS – A FREE Forum on Careers in the Arts for People with Disabilities

Saturday, March 8, 9:30am-5pm, Tivoli Union, Auraria Campus downtown

Join PHAMALY, the Colorado Council on the Arts, and VSA arts of Colorado for this unique event bringing people together to discuss the topic of careers in the arts for people with disabilities. The event is FREE and includes lunch and a wine and cheese reception. Workshops include a Successful Artists Panel (covering topics of making a living in the arts), an Employers Panel (covering topics of how arts employers can open their doors to people with disabilities), and performances include PHAMALY and ImprovAbility Dance Company. Register at www.phamaly.org, or by calling 303-575-0005.

I just want to re-iterate that this is a FREE conference, so if you have a friend or family member with a disability, have a disability yourself, or are just interested in this subject, you should definitely sign up and check this out.
The Big Bad Wolf will be there, you know, cruising for chicks and stuff.
For my readers outside of the Rocky Mountain region, here's a snippet from a PBS NewsHour story about a PHAMALy production of The Wiz back in 2006.

The NewsHour report and the full streaming video are here.
Of course, if you want more info about PHAMALy you can always drop by the website designed and maintained by local Web Goddess Ali Zimmerman.
