Congratulations to the thirty-three artists selected to participate in the 2009 EDGE Professional Development Program! This year's cycles will be July 5-12 and August 8-15. Both cycles are being held as week-long intensives at Centrum in order to attract more artists from around the state. See and hear presentations of their work in July and August following their EDGE-ucation.
 
The EDGE program at Artist Trust  is a comprehensive survey of professional practices offered through a hands-on, interactive curriculum that includes instruction by professionals in the field, specialized presentations, panel discussions and assignments. EDGE provides artists with the relevant and necessary entrepreneurial skills to achieve their personal career goals and the opportunity to build community through peer support and exchange.
