I’m going to get The California nonprofit corporation kit by author Anthony Mancuso (Nolo Press, Berkeley, CA) and incorporate my artist’s retreat as my first step.
About ten years ago, I read about the Pacific Northwest tribes of Native Americans, the Salish speaking people, who gathered once a year to create collaborative art, share stories, and celebrate life all while sharing in the creative process of multi-disciplinary art. I’m a writer but I think artists in general are stuck communicating and sharing only with other artists working in the same medium.
I believe that artists should share in the creative process with artists from other mediums. I want this retreat to also serve under-privileged inner-city youth.
