# Event Details - **Event Name**: Starts with You: Using the Self to Build Stronger Collaborative Community Culture - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Professional Development Artist Workshops for Artists and Arts Administrators: https://bloomington.in.gov/arts/grants The City of Bloomington announces their 2026 professional development artist workshop series. These workshops serve a greater initiative of supporting and cultivating creative entrepreneurship. For artists who are looking to level up their interpersonal, professional, and artistic skills, these workshops help to fill the gap for the Bloomington creative community. Since 2024 these workshops have explored topics relevant to all mediums and provided effective resources for artists in different stages of their career. This series of workshops is open to artists and arts administrators, and will explore topics of community collaboration, conflict resolution, and burnout, and how all three may intersect and/or show up in creative practice. Participants will learn the principles of collaborative community-building and engagement, how to navigate conflict in their lives, and help mitigate—or at least counter—burnout when it threatens to appear in their creative life. Whether participants attend one or all three workshops, it will still provide tools needed to better navigate their practice. Are you thinking about leveling up your creative practice beyond a personal hobby and into a career, but don’t know where to start? This workshop series is for you too! Our Professional Development Artist Workshop Program also invites those that are interested in taking the first step into creative entrepreneurship. If you would like to attend one or all three workshops, you must register for each workshop separately. This series is free and space is limited. We are accepting participants on a first come, first served basis. We will have a waitlist for workshops if we reach capacity.
