Presenting at the Mocktail Mixer
Artists will have just 3 minutes to introduce themselves. This is your time to shine!
Possible talking points:
-
Your creative work/practice
-
Project/workshop concepts
-
How does the project relate to mental health, recovery, destigmatization, etc.
-
How this will impact Participants (the clients Organizations serve)
Keep in mind:
-
3 minutes isn’t much time. Please ensure you're prepared as we may need to cut discussions short.
-
Speak in basic and literal terms when possible. You will be speaking to nonprofit leaders who may have limited experience/understanding of art.
-
You can show examples of your work or other visual aids but if you have slides, they must be sent in advance of the event.
Please RSVP by April 17
