CCCT's Visual Artist Resource Guide

The Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism asked us to help spread the word on this new resource for visual artists.

The Visual Artist Resource Guide includes a variety of opportunities and resources that are available to Connecticut artists.  While the Guide is focused on visual artists, a number of the resources are also relevant to artists of all disciplines.  The Guide was created in 2010 to support the “Taking Care of Business - Career Strategies for Visual Artists” conference series that was made possible by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation and organized by the Connecticut Office of the Arts (Department of Community and Economic Development) in partnership with ten of the state’s regional cultural service agencies.  The Guide was prepared by the Northwest Connecticut Arts Council with final publication support from the Connecticut Office of the Arts (DECD).  Users of the Visual Artists Resource Guide should understand that it is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of resources nor does inclusion in the Guide constitute an endorsement by the DECD, Connecticut Office of the Arts, of any individual, organization, web site or content contained therein.
