The beginning - Step One
10 months ago
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.
