ARTIST PARTNERSHIPS Is there a class or workshop you would like to see offered at Casa? Or, are you an arts instructor interested in providing a class or workshop?

The benefits for individual artists and community arts groups are: • Administration and registration services are provided by centre staff. • Class/workshop space is provided by the centre at no cost to the person or arts group proposing the partnership. • Inclusion of the class/workshop in the centre’s program guide, and on our web site. • Revenue generated by classes and workshops is shared, with 70% going to the individual artist or community arts group proposing the partnership (to cover artists’ fees, travel, per diem and hotel, if necessary) and 30% going to Casa to cover administrative costs.
