The Center for Nonprofits announces a special opportunity for social services, educational, and arts organizations and artists!
What: “Speed” Networking for Arts, Education and Social Service
When: December 9, 2009 9 – 11 am
Where: United Way Community Room
Our first speed networking event will provide the Arts Community an opportunity to interact and explore collaborative opportunities with the Social Services/Education Community.
This event is in itself collaboration with co-sponsors including: Education, Arts & Culture; Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga; and the
United Way of Greater Chattanooga.
Purpose: To create an opportunity for the arts and social services/education communities to engage with each other, and explore mutually beneficial opportunities for collaborations.
Why Attend?
Artists and Arts Organizations: Showcase what you do and create interest in how it could be employed by the social services and education communities in providing services. Discover the needs of these communities as they relate to the arts.
Social Services/Educational Organizations: Gain ideas on how to incorporate arts into the provision of services, be inspired by examples of how other organizations have created real impact through the use of the arts. Explore the possibilities.
SPECIAL “BONUS” to all… Information on upcoming grant opportunities for arts and social services collaborations and programs * Announcements on upcoming special events, and the opportunity to receive priority status regarding those events * Information on national initiatives to bring the arts into social service and educational settings.
Format: Arts Organizations and artists will have the opportunity to set up a mini display or table (Limited to 20 arts organizations/artists.) Representatives from social services/educational organizations will move around the room (in an organized fashion, of course!) and visit each display. Both parties will have 5 minutes to exchange information, inspiration, and ideas, then (when signaled to do so) move on to the next display.
And yes, there will be food and refreshments!
