This group is for people who want to make a living out of doing what they love. It doesn't matter if you are a painter, singer, actor, writer, dancer, crafty type, or just want to bring more creative energy into your career--we welcome you! Our group meets on a monthly basis to provide a network of support while we pursue our dream jobs.

Conceived as a result of Laura Zam's workshop, "How to Leave Your Day Job: Making a Living in the Arts", we will build off the tools and concepts that Laura has developed during her career as a teacher and practicing artist.
