Dear Friends ... before we get to the latest arts/events/DIY
newsletter, we wanted to let you know about a big ole happening
known as the Craigslist Foundation Nonprofit Boot Camp.
It happens THIS SATURDAY, August 18, at UC Berkeley. You will
have to throw down some change to get in, but, for anyone
interested in exploring and extending the possilibities of
cultural work that's focused on mission and issues rather than
pure profit, this event is for you.
We at Indy Arts/Expo for the Artist & Musician have long held
that the nonprofit option provides intriguing opportunity for
socially minded DIY folks to channel their creative energy
into meaningful projects that benefit the community at large.
There are advantages and drawbacks to going the nonprofit route.
These need to be investigated. But you'll find few venues for
doing so better than this Craigslist Foundation happening.
The collective knowledge-base of the attendees is extraordinary.
Here are the details. Do check them out:
