2021 Winter Virtual Symposium Schedule

Details: Created: Wednesday, 13 January 2021 21:24

We hope you plan to join us for our LIVE Presentations January 16-18 2021!

Three days of morning coffee, presentations, and evening campfires punctuating a weekend of coordinated carving (if you want) and getting to see each other's faces and new works. Share a video of your studio if you didn't last time around! Play or cheer on your favorite contestant in Geopardy! with "Alex" Trevor Contreras as your host! Show us your new work (in progress ok) on our theme of Balance!

If you've registered already but haven't accessed the forum yet, go to www.nwssa2020.org and create an account. This is the website that the forum will center around. The "Registration Desk" has all the information you need to be able to use the site, post pictures, reply to comments, and send messages to other sculptors.

If you already have an account on the forum from our last virtual symposium in August, we ask that you still register on the NWSSA website and pay $55. This registration fee will cover the cost of the forum, administrative fees, and payments to the presenters.
