In-Depth Workshops

Each workshop will build upon the next; adding valuable resources, reflection points, and action steps to growth.  In addition, participants will receive a copy of Art-Reach Workbook, access to the Digital Learning Series (February 2025) and quarterly office hours with the Cohort’s Director. 

All sessions will be hosted in zoom meeting, variable learning styles welcome, and we will work with your access needs, recorded and transcribed for later review.
