Looking Back


Year after year, Expo for the Artist & Musician is always an experiment in volunteerism, and community-focused arts and social services.

And 2004, our fifth anniversary, was no exception.

We set the tone by significantly expanding our free services, offering a week-long series of workshops and skillshares on everything from microbroadcast radio and self-publishing to sewing and costumery, from grantwriting to email fundraising, from managing your art portfolio to repairing a tube amplifier.

At the Expo itself, on Sunday, May 2, we had a record 94 arts organizations registered — an unprecedented gathering of local arts organizations of all stripes.


The Future


All this is adding up to even bigger changes and bigger plans for 2005. The challenges are considerable, as our dedication to free or very low-cost services means we don’t make a mint in event fees.

But it does mean that the Expo is and will remain accessible to all members of the community. Nothing could more clearly define our priority of supporting and cultivating the arts at the grassroots.

If you have any comments on this year’s Expo for the Artist & Musician, or are interested in participating in next year’s event,
