Connect with luminaries from the Bay Area arts scene at the “Bay Area Art Stars Women’s Networking Event." Emerging women in the arts are invited to attend a professional meet-up with established gallerists, curators, professors, and representatives from major arts organizations. Small groups of participants will move around to each table in a "speed-networking" format. They will learn how each of the Art Stars achieved their successes and will have a chance to ask them questions that will help in their future careers.
THE 2024 Bay Area Art Stars lineup will be published late summer - check back for more info!
