We have our next general membership meeting on Thursday, September 8th at 6:00pm
350 N. Ogden 3rd floor, Chicago, IL
The CSI board members have been busy working on new opportunities for everyone and have realized we want more input from you. The ISC will be having their conference here in Chicago the first week of October 2012 and we have aggressive plans to put sculpture all over the city, but we need your help!
Everyone will have a voice and be able to share their ideas with everyone else. We strongly encourage you to attend and invite any of your art buddies (sculptors and art administrators etc) to attend and contribute to this meeting. The topic is the Art of the Possible: What can CSI do together? We will focus on: ISC conference exhibitions, fundraising, new opportunities and new membership. There will also be announcements about new leadership for CSI. It will be a great meeting!
