Workshops
A.R.T./New York offers a suite of workshops for our members as skills-building opportunities fully included in the cost of membership. We strive to offer education from multiple perspectives and pedagogies for staff in every department of our member companies. Members are encouraged to send interns and associate-level staff members to workshops as part of their professional development offerings.
We have organized our workshops into tracks based on the topic of focus. Some workshops are cross-listed under multiple tracks but refer to the same event. Click on each track below to view the available workshops.
