East End Arts Council Holds Musicians Think Tank

Riverhead, NY - The East End Arts Council is happy to announce the Musician’s Think Tank: 2008 Networking Session, to be held on Saturday April 5, 2008 at 1:00 pm in the EEAC Carriage House, located on the grounds of the EEAC, 133 East Main Street, Riverhead. There is a $10 requested donation.

The event is open to the entire music community to share ideas in an open forum, and to discuss the issues and needs of musicians on the East End. Specific discussion topics include the formation of an East End Musician’s Registry, recording and rehearsal capabilities at the EEAC and grant opportunities. Don Palmer, Director of the Individual Artists Program, and Lisa Johnson, Director of the Music Program, both from the New York State Council on the Arts, will speak on support opportunities through their organization.
