The title, "Survival Skills for Arts Administrators", plays off the title of one of our workshop facilitator's books ("The College Administrator's Survival Guide" by C.K. Gunsalus). Tina Gunsalus will conduct the afternoon session on Thursday and will be available for consultations with individuals that day and evening as well.
The other sessions will be interactive, discussion-based panels and presentations dealing with the topics indicated above. There will be optional recreational activities available on Saturday morning. The banquet will be a festive luau, held at the conference hotel, the Helmsley Sandcastle on Lido Key, Sarasota. There is great shopping close by at the famous Armand Circle, and we will tour the multiple museums at the Florida State University Ringling Museum of Art estate, including the Ringling house museum, Ca'd Zan, pictured on the card. We will have sessions at the Ringling Museum, and events at New College of Florida and the Ringling College of Art and Design as well.
