SUMMARY:Subverting Perfectionism Using Ugly Art
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll get close and personal with the mental barriers our perfectionism has built by making intentionally ugly art. We’ll explore perfectionism’s origins\, how this affects our current life goals\, and how making intentionally ugly art can help us bridge the gap between the two by practicing joyful imperfection and teaching our bodies that it’s safe to move toward our goals through imperfection. \nMy goal is for you to leave this workshop with a better understanding of your own creative fear and a new\, fun tool to help you bring more joy\, play\, and freedom into your life. \nSome art materials will be provided\, but I encourage you to bring along that sketchbook/journal you bought years ago and have been too afraid to use\, and something colorful to draw with (markers\, crayons\, paint\, collage materials). \nRegistration Required as space is limited for this in-person workshop! \nOur presenter\, Lore Alexander (they/them) is a creativity coach and freelance copyeditor. For the past three years\, they have been interviewing creatives on their show\, The Ugly Podcast\, to demystify the creative process and encourage people to return to their creative nature—even and especially if it’s ugly! You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts\, and you can learn more about their coaching opportunities here.

Learn practical tips\, proven strategies\, and key insights to help you monetize your art business no matter what art discipline you practice. \nAbout NaKeesa Frazier-Jennings \nNaKeesa Frazier-Jennings\, is an entrepreneur and longtime resident of Western Washington who was born and raised in the Washington\, D.C. area. NaKeesa proudly identifies as an advocate for racial and social justice often using the written word to shed light on the many issues impacting the Black community as well as other marginalized groups.  \nHer boutique consulting firm\, Nakeesa Marie Enterprises\, is located in Tacoma\, Washington\, where she provides gentle coaching\, consultation\, proofreading and writing services\, as well as various other types of support to entrepreneurs\, small business owners\, and job seekers.  \nNaKeesa’s current work was born out of her experiences in the community and being immersed in the visual\, creative\, and literary art spaces in the Greater Seattle area for over 25 years. She has engaged with visual artists and creatives in a variety of ways such as providing them with coaching\, crafting artist bios and artist statements\, serving as an artist manager\, having also planned\, negotiated\, and executed group and solo exhibitions.  \nIn December 2023\, she created and began co-delivering a workshop that details her family’s art journey that includes practical tips\, strategies and resources that can help artists monetize their individual art practice.  \nCurrently\, NaKeesa provides exclusive artist representation to visual artist (and her husband)\, George Jennings\, serving as the creative director for George’s Black family art legacy showcase and exhibit titled The Women\, The Paper\, and The Light.  \nNaKeesa is also a published author whose work has been featured in media publications\, books\, and creative and literary projects.

SUMMARY:Internships For Your Small Business
DESCRIPTION:The Next Move Program believes that all students should have the opportunity to make informed choices about their future.  We also believe that personal experiences\, such as internships in a chosen career field and a meaningful relationship with a career mentor\, can have a lasting impact on a student’s personal and professional journey. \nThe Next Move Internship Program works with the local community to design meaningful positions for juniors and seniors in Tacoma Public Schools in order to provide each a preview of their professional future. By working alongside employees in a specific industry\, students are able to learn what skills and expertise is needed to be successful in their chosen career field. Internship experiences provide students the opportunity to make informed decisions about their future.  \nProspective interns begin by participating in Intro to Internship\, a preparatory course where they explore career pathways\, write resumes and cover letters\, and practice their interviewing\, networking\, and professional communication skills. After completing Intro to Internship\, students are invited to participate in a 90-hour\, unpaid internship experience in the community\, where they can continue to build their skills and explore their interests. Students typically intern 4-8 hours per week at their site and are supported throughout the entire experience by their Intern host and Next Move Coach. \nAre you wanting an intern but don’t know where to start? At this in-person workshop\, we’ll learn from Next Move on their program that pairs local high school students with businesses in the community.  \nSpace is limited\, please register here: https://forms.gle/gtCSsB3WoiPRg9z89
