The global COVID-19 Pandemic is having a dramatic effect on the arts, but some practitioners are finding ways to navigate its challenges.

RSVP today to take part in Co-Lab, a virtual conference on collaboration hosted by acclaimed composer, performer, and producer, Ralph Farris.

Spread across four Zoom sessions to take place on Friday, October 9, Ralph and a who’s-who of panelists across all creative genres and disciplines will discuss the art of collaboration, sharing secrets and stories of their successes (and failures).

Part of a residency sponsored by Las Vegas arts organization Rogers Art Loft, Co-Lab’s four panel discussions will delve into the questions of how artists can collaborate, under quarantine, during strife, despite uncertainty, and in the future.

RSVP to be one of only 100 attendees. Listen to the panel discussions online via Zoom, participate in lively Q&A sessions, and network with fellow creators during breakout sessions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow arts professionals.
