Dear Artists & Colleagues,

While the weather is still a bit brisk, The Field's got some enticing reasons for you to whisk your way to one of our workshops!

JumpstART begins on Saturday. To quote instructor Fran Kirmser, arts consultant and Broadway producer extraordinaire: Tackling text, budgets and planning with the support of a group and guidance of an instructor can be a terrific boost that allows artists to see how capable they are.

Applications for the Spring-Summer Field Artist Residency providing uber-subsidized rehearsal space at our lovely Chelsea studio have just been posted!

And remember we're moving! Our office will be closed Thursday & Friday. We'll re-open on Monday at 75 Maiden Lane, Suite 906, between William & Gold Streets. Come visit!

From all of us at The Field,
Jennifer, Shawn René, Cara, Shama, Pele, Bill, Liza, Chongsi & Cassie

A few spots still left!
