> We were presented with an exciting opportunity for a performing artist
> who wishes to develop their career.  David Cutler, director of SAVVI
> Arts Venture Challenge (an interdisciplinary arts boot camp to
> transform communities,) has reached out to us and asked us to help
> identify someone who will be interested in attending.  His
> organization will be offering a scholarship to cover the cost of the
> program for one, maybe two, blind attendees.  The scholarship only
> covers tuition for the program, but if housing and travel costs become
> a barrier, the performing arts division will help you overcome this
> obstacle.  This program will take place from June 1-7, 2019, in
> Columbia, South Carolina and will most definitely be classified as
> career development.  You can read more about it at the link below.
