As part of the Artists 360 program, grant recipients convened October 12-14 at the 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville, Arkansas for a weekend retreat focused on professional development and strategic planning for their awarded projects. They were joined by the Artists 360 facilitation team comprised of Mid-America Arts Alliance’s artist services staff (Lisa Cordes, Sarah Hearn and David Wayne Reed) and four regional artists: Beau Bledsoe (musician); Adrienne Dawes (playwright); Kathy Liao (visual artist); and Angela Davis Johnson (multi-media artist).
