This week the College Art Association’s Annual Conference arrives to town and we hope you take advantage of their generous Pay-As-You-Wish policy. It’s perfect for non-members, those not able to afford the steep ticket price, or those who can only attend a few sessions throughout the week. Also featured this week is Fractured Atlas’s staff page outlining their company policies and employee resources. We found this entire site incredibly informative. The transparency and support this arts organization gives its workers should be an industry standard. And though not all of the resources are relevant for a Fractured Atlas outsider, we recommend the Autonomy, Decisions & Conversations, and Aligning Objectives sections. More arts resources and tips in our Read, Go, and Apply sections below—and onward Young Professionals!

Those two puppies at the Met Museum simply made our day! This week, we want to feel the same amount of chill as the two of them and just breeze through it. There’s plenty of great events in our Go section to accomplish this, or relax listening to the CI to Eye podcast while learning something at the same time. And there’s still time to Apply for the 2050 Administrative Fellowship at the New York Theater Workshop. Here’s to feeling the chill this week without actually freezing like we did in last week’s cold!

It’s the last sprint to the holiday break and doesn’t December just always feel a little too short? So many holiday parties, drinks, year-end festivities to go to before we wind down this year.

You know those days that could use a few extra hours? All of last week felt like that for us. But especially so when we discovered the “Arts + Social Impact Explorer” by Americans for the Arts. Not only is it a great resource for stats, facts, and data, but each segment includes an additional reading list that makes us wish for extra reading time. Under GO this week, we’re excited to share our next event in partnership with NYFA’s Emerging Leaders program “Managing Up and Down: Conflict Resolution in the Workplace” on Monday, Oct. 29 (register now!). Lastly, even if you have a full-time job, you might want to consider becoming a "People Mover” at National Sawdust for two days? We were intrigued. More below under APPLY.
