On behalf of the Platteville Arts Board we would like to invite you to attend the upcoming pARTicipate Retreat on Saturday, May 17th from 9 am -1:00 pm at the Mound City Bank Motor Branch Conference Room. Attached is a copy of the invitation, agenda and the registration form.
You can RSVP by returning attached registration form to the Platteville Arts Board, PO Box 780, Platteville, WI 53818 - or by sending an email response with requested information to Gaile Schwickrath gaile@rinzai.com, or Heidi Dyas-McBeth at kealin@mhtc.net.
Please share this information with others involved with the organizations that you work with. This retreat is open to artists, arts and other organization administrators, board members and volunteers – basically all interested in supporting and growing the arts and culture of the Platteville community. Event is FREE and will feature a presentation by Arts Wisconsin, the WI Arts Board and the UWP Foundation. A copy of the “Arts in the Small Community” book will be provided to participating organizations (this is the revised and updated version of the original publication developed in the late sixties by Wisconsinite Robert Gard).
I am hoping for a nice representation from the various arts, cultural and community organizations in Platteville. As resources become scarcer it will be important to understand the mission of the community groups we are involved with and to discuss ways to partner and collaborate on projects – creating a vision for supporting and integrating the arts into all aspects of our community.
We hope to see you there!
