It's time again for the monthly members' news. Those of you who are regular blog readers may have noticed I was remiss in posting the January news. Yep, my bad. Please forgive me and enjoy the news for this month-

Danielle Miller-Gilliam has been awarded the South Carolina Arts Commission's "2012 Artists' Ventures Initiative Grant".
This award is a $5000 grant given to encourage and enable the creation of new artist-driven, arts-based business ventures that will provide career satisfaction and sustainability for South Carolina artists. Danielle's proposal is to focus on "Make your own Wedding Band workshops" in her Greenville, SC studio. Click on the link for more information.
