Peer Partnership Program
This winter, reinvigorate your creative practice by collaborating with another artist. The Creative Spaces Collective is providing stipends to artists who participate in a peer partnership program, where two artists collaborate, critique, support, and learn from each other through online video calls during the winter months. At least one artist in each partnership match will be based in Indiana County. This program is designed to invest in the education of local artists and to share the talents of local artists with a global community. Join our mailing list to apply when this goes live!
