Call to Arts! Expo

Since being announced at the first of this year, the 2003 Call to Arts! expo has been gaining a great deal of momentum and cooperation with a wide range of artists and organizations. The expo will be a large and unique gathering of artists and arts leaders working at grassroots, community and industry levels and across various artistic disciplines, but sharing a common purpose in arts and music. It is a place where musicians, fine artists, songwriters, designers, singers, managers, visionaries, publishers, poets, promoters, authors and those who administer arts organizations, businesses or non profits are coming together to MAKE CONNECTIONS... and MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The Call to Arts! expo is brought to you by Artists Helping Artists (AHA!) www.ArtistsHelpingArtists.org & The Creative Line Magazine www.TheCreativeLine.us ARTS AND MUSIC PANELS AT THE EXPO In addition to the arts and music exhibits and booths at the expo, our juried art exhibit, song and poetry contest, and performance stages, the following panels are also available to all attendees: Arts in the Community: Making a Difference Inside the Music Industry Does Theatre Really Exist in Los Angeles?
