Growth Planning is a structured process designed to envision, assess, and plan the operational infrastructure that supports your creative practice or business. In this 15-week workshop, participants are introduced to growth planning, an 8-part process for the intentional and ongoing evolution of the parallel practice: all of the operational infrastructure that supports your creative practice or business and helps you bring it into public view. The workshop combines instructional meetings, co-working sessions, and independent work, providing a structured, affirmative environment to build or renew a sustainable growth plan. By embracing growth planning as an ongoing practice, you can reduce overwhelm; improve focus and results; make values-driven decisions; and stay aligned with what’s most meaningful in your work. Join us for the 5th annual Groth Planning Workshop!

Calling all Palestinian creatives!

Fortuna Major Press & Astral Cherry Healing Arts are proud to share that cover art submissions for Ecstatic Resistance Magazine's inaugural issue, Beyond Separation, are OPEN.

In a world shaped by Empire, where separation is the prevailing narrative, we choose to believe in the power of connection, community, and collective resistance! From art that illuminates cross-movement connections to mutual aid projects resisting apartheid, this issue will dismantle the myths of disconnection and individualism.

The selected Palestinian artist will not only have their art on the cover, but also be interviewed for an exclusive feature in the magazine, receive $50 in compensation, and receive a free print edition of the magazine upon publication.

Ecstatic Resistance Magazine aims to support organizations and mutual aid projects that are directly working toward a more just, liberated future in a way that is aligned with the values of Astral Cherry Healing Arts and Fortuna Major Press. 50% of the profits raised through the distribution of the magazine will go toward such organizations and projects. This issue of the magazine will donate funds to Middle East Children’s Alliance — MECA for Peace as well as Jewish Voice For Peace.

Hello dear SFAA team.

I have just been given the green light to identify up to three artists who can develop a proposal for a piece of public art celebrating innovation on a new public art walkway along the riverfront in the city of Ft Myers, Florida.

Below is the RFP. We need ideas in place prior to May 18. Any artist interested in joining this process or learning more should shoot me an email asap and we can discuss ideas and assemble a proposal. The overall budget per piece is approximately $100,000. The delivery date is January 2025.

I understand that this is a very quick turn-around for the proposal, but I can help assemble them.

Please spread the word through the SFAI alumni network!

cheers,

Gordon
