Organized by CAAM and Art + Practice (A+P), the Points of Access series continues with a focus on artists and their need to build a sustained practice. In four public programs, CAAM and A+P welcome artists of all stages and genres to explore the many ways to navigate the art world at each point in their careers, and the lessons learned. This final program at CAAM includes an introduction to professionals in the field, followed by a speed mentoring mixer. Mentors include Karen Atkinson, founder and creator of the artist-run company and art project, Getting Your Sh*t Together for Artists; Rosalyn Escobar, grants manager at the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture; Letitia Fernandez Ivins, senior manager of Transportation Planning (Arts and Design) at Metro Art; Pete Galindo, founder of Civic Center Studios; Pauline Kamiyama, director of the Santa Fe Arts Commission; Karen Mack, founder of LA Commons; Silas Munro, designer, author, artist, and professor of Graphic Design at Otis College of Art and Design; and others.
