The Artist Production Development Workshop will be held at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St.) from 8am-12pm today, September 12. The workshop is FREE, but space is limited and a reservation is required. Continental breakfast will be provided. Interested parties should contact Lincoln Theatre General Manager Suzan Bradford at (614) 719-6746 or sbradford@capa.com for more information.

The afternoon session will be the Creative Control Fest, a grassroots conference designed to bring together the soul and technical ability of the art and design community. The conference will begin with workshops centered on artist development and taking an idea from concept to production, followed by a speakers' series featuring creative professionals, industry leaders, and innovators in design, fashion, and other creative fields. Creative Control Fest will also feature an art show, performances, and vendors in concert with the speakers' series, culminating in a Celebration Concert featuring up-and-coming musicians.

Attendees can participate in the afternoon session by registering at www.creativecontrolfest.com (fee required).
