In this new age of COVID-19, encouraging, promoting, and supporting the arts in our
Sarasota community as we customarily do—through offering free workshops throughout the year—has become a challenge. So, while we all heal and venture out only carefully, our plan is to provide the community our blog, our “words of wisdom”, in writing, music, and art. The blogs will offer tips, encouragement, and proven research to help you hone your craft!
Please comment, ask us a question, and let us know what’s on your mind. We’ll
respond in a future blog!
