A Free Professional Development Workshop Series for Artists and Arts Organizations
Creative Foundation Workshops is a new, ongoing workshop series designed to support Northern Colorado artists and arts organizations in building strong, sustainable creative practices. Workshops will take place bimonthly beginning in September 2025 and will focus on essential skill development topics such as marketing, budgeting, grant writing, portfolio development, and more.
Each session is free to attend, features experienced facilitators, and is structured to provide both practical tools and opportunities for connection within the local arts community. Workshops are open to all and geared toward both individual artists and representatives of arts-focused nonprofits, with content that applies to a variety of disciplines and experience levels.
Join us for the first workshop in the series:
