February 23th, 24th, and 25th, 2007

Hello!

Cobalt Studios was created in 1988 to train successful scenic artists who have a positive commitment to our craft. Now itıs 2007 and while our mission hasnıt changed, times sure have. Thatıs why we are still proudly offering the annual Anti-Freakout Job Market Roundtable, where scenic artists converge to share their valuable up to date career experiences.

This February a bunch of us scenic artists will get together and give advice, show pictures, and share the products that are knocking our socks off.

Some of the topics covered at a typical Anti-Freakout Roundtable are:

  • Ships, store windows, and other unusual places to look for work
  • How does a Scenic Artist find a job? Keep a job?
  • Individual Networking, Associations, and Professional Organizations
  • Who are the employers? What type of people are employers looking for?
  • How do employers find artists? When are employers looking for people?
  • The Resume/Portfolio in Hiring and Interviewing
  • The Value of References and Recommendations
  • Meeting and working with Scenic Designers, Technical Directors, Production Managers
  • What makes a good working environment?
  • What should you expect in a life as a Scenic Artist?
  • Relocation — When? Why? How?
  • New Scenic Arts materials, sources, tricks, and applications

    But, who said this is going to be a typical Anti-Freakout Roundtable? Only YOU can make it our best year ever, so call or e-mail me today to reserve your space. The seminar begins over dinner Friday evening, February 23rd, at 7:00 pm, runs all day Saturday, the 24th, and those wishing to continue the conversation are welcome to stick around on Sunday morning, the 25th.

    There is no registration fee BUT please bring $10 for the food pot, a sleeping bag, your portfolio, resume, questions, info, wisdom, and insights. Rooms/beds are available on a first come, first serve basis. There are lots of couches and other spaces close to the toasty woodstove.

    I would be delighted and honored if you would come share and exchange your know-how at this valuable networking weekend. Itıs always a thrill for us scenic artists to get together in an informal and safe setting at the Cobalt Farmhouse to talk shop. I can't wait to see you!

    Warm Regards,
