agreement is often the most challenging deal to negotiate. Understanding
how to navigate the negotiation process and nuances of the actor
agreement is essential for producers, directors, writers, actors and
anyone interested in the film business. The workshop will outline and
discuss the basic terms of the actor agreement along with the important
issues to consider when negotiating the deal.

WHERE DID THE TIME GO? TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them
yourself. (Andy Warhol)

Time Management for Artists is designed to help you recognize and perhaps
reconsider your personal concept of time. During this workshop you will gain
a clear understanding of how you currently use your time in order to best
determine how you really want to spend those hours available within any
given day. You will receive practical management methods, skills and
techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, managing
frequent distractions and interruptions, and prioritizing yourself and your
artwork. Goal setting and action planning are key to time management
success. In-class activities will highlight how to budget your time wisely
and most effectively for you. More effective planning will enable you to
spend more time doing what will ultimately lead you towards achieving your
personal and professional goals and objectives.

Judith Teitelman brings 25 years of experience in helping grassroots and
mid-sized organizations and large institutions strengthen their management
and fundraising capacities and plan for a sustainable future. She is a

Open CALL FOR ARTISTS- The Annex LA

CALL FOR ARTISTS

The Annex LA seeks 2D artists for this month’s Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk on Thursday, February 11th. This month’s 1-day event is from 4pm-10pm. With upward of 6000 people in attendance each month, this event offers an enormous amount of exposure. This is a great opportunity to make contacts, meet artists in the area, and gain access to a young, hip, and involved audience.

If you are interested in participating, please visit us at http://www.theannexla.com/participate.html You may submit your work using the Submission Form, or you can email links and images to gallery@theannexla.com

Deadline: Monday, February 1th, 2010

Mission Statement

The mission of the Annex LA is to provide a platform for artists, musicians, designers, etc. to directly connect with the community in downtown LA. It exemplifies the DIY energy that is at the core of the downtown art scene, and strives to create an environment of exchange and support between galleries and creative individuals.

As an alternative space, it offers galleries the chance to present their work in a different--perhaps more accessible--setting. This provides downtown galleries with an opportunity to experiment with displaying works outside of the white-wall space and to exhibit lower priced works or multiples from their collections. In exhibiting individual artists alongside established downtown galleries, the Annex LA wishes to create an egalitarian environment that focuses not on the politics of the art scene, but on fostering interpersonal connections between artists and audiences. By participating as an established downtown gallery, you are supporting the legitimacy of the individual artist's practice, regardless of gallery representation.
