On Tuesday of this week, I attended the monthly staff meeting with Bethany. This meeting was at the main campus where they display the work of several different artists and offer residencies. Everyone on the team was very welcoming to me and\u00a0introduced themselves as they gave an update on their department. I was able to hear about roles such as donor relations, fundraising, event coordination, and more. It was not a particularly exciting meeting, but I feel like it allowed me to gain insight into the center and how it operates behind the scenes. I actually work at a nonprofit so I am already relatively familiar with how they operate, but of course this one is different and has different demands\u00a0related to its mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each table was set up with supplies for today\u2019s prompt. We ripped out images of a\u00a0magazine and pasted them onto our canvas, which we then painted over to create a mixed media\u00a0collage. I participated in the workshop myself and took note of how Bethany interacted with everyone there. She definitely kept a very positive attitude and made sure to encourage everyone as they went, ready to help when needed. I enjoyed getting to help set up\/take the workshop and do it myself to get both sides of how an event like that works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
