Art Orientations
We strongly recommend that artists begin the proposal process by attending an artist orientation. These informal tours/conversations give the artists a chance to experience the space, discuss what makes a successful proposal, ask questions, and observe visitors interacting with the current artist installations.
Please let us know if you plan to attend an artist orientation by sending an email at least 48 hours in advance to Sean Kelley at sk@easternstate.org. Space is limited.
