ARTISTS' SERVICES PROGRAM
Artists' Services Program is a FREE program developed by the Maude Kerns Art Center. Our goal is to provide artists in Lane County with resources such as free lectures, workshops and artist critiques. Our intention is to provide a supportive community for artists that encourage establishing connections and network. Lectures, workshops and artist salon meetings are held at Maude Kerns Art Center every first Monday of each month.
All Maude Kerns Art Center Members are invited to submit digital images of their artwork for our new artists registry. Please call the art center: 541-345-1571 or e-mail: staff@mkartcenter.org for more information.
To sign up to receive notes and other art opportunity listings through our Artists' Services Program list-serve, please send an e-mail to: staff@mkartcenter.org with the subject heading as "subscribe to ASP" in the subject heading and your e-mail address in the message text.
As part of the Artists' Services program, Maude Kerns Art Center publishes a quarterly “Palette” that lists the opportunities, workshops and a feature article on advice for artists. If you wish to contribute art opportunities or advice or personal experiences about the journey of being an artist, please e-mail: staff@mkartcenter.org .
