This Winter we are offering sessions for artists of all types in Central's impressive new "Creative Experience" room. The Creative Experience is a "maker space", where people can use the latest hardware and software to make and edit videos, compose and play music, manipulate photos, and much more.
These programs include a talk by Sue Greenberg, of St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accounts for the Arts, book recommendations from specialist librarians, and an introduction to the array of technology available in the room.
The schedule is as follows, with the sessions running from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm:
Wednesday, December 18 -- Visual Artists
Wednesday, January 15 -- Writers
Wednesday, February 19 -- Musicians
These are completely free, but we would like to know how many to expect, so please let us know if you'd like to come. Either call the Grants & Foundations Center at 314-539-0357 or e-mail the Experience staff at cexp@slpl.org.
