59: April showers bring Jazz Appreciation Month

Hey everyone,

So it's April, woohoo!! Happy Jazz Appreciation month!! Still in transition myself, between wrapping up a performance with a dance company last week, and jumping into rehearsals with a theatre company this one.

That being said, here's the top-of-the-month bulletin, without any further ado. :-)

Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts

If you don't know about this organization yet, I recommend you check 'em out.

"Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts began in 1983 as a unique collaboration of lawyers and artists to fulfill a mission to serve artists in need of legal knowledge and assistance. Since then, WALA has supported artistic expression and creative innovation serving the legal needs of the arts and cultural communities in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia."

"A major new six-hour dance festival in Dupont Circle that will be FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC"

Emerging Arts Leaders Symposium

I'll be going :-)

"EALS is an annual meeting for young professionals who work in the arts—organized, executed, and run by AU Arts Management students. It is an opportunity to discuss the issues, unique or universal, that affect all arts organizations. Past keynote speakers have included Rachel Goslins, Ben Cameron, and Bob Lynch."
