To register: www.cciarts.org/losangeles.htm or call (213) 687-8577.
WHERE DID THE TIME GO? TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them
yourself. (Andy Warhol)
Time Management for Artists is designed to help you recognize and perhaps
reconsider your personal concept of time. During this workshop you will gain
a clear understanding of how you currently use your time in order to best
determine how you really want to spend those hours available within any
given day. You will receive practical management methods, skills and
techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, managing
frequent distractions and interruptions, and prioritizing yourself and your
artwork. Goal setting and action planning are key to time management
success. In-class activities will highlight how to budget your time wisely
and most effectively for you. More effective planning will enable you to
spend more time doing what will ultimately lead you towards achieving your
personal and professional goals and objectives.
Judith Teitelman brings 25 years of experience in helping grassroots and
mid-sized organizations and large institutions strengthen their management
and fundraising capacities and plan for a sustainable future. She is a
strong proponent of management initiatives designed to examine and challenge
long-standing assumptions about arts administration, and is committed to
helping organizations rethink “business as usual.” Her national consulting
practice, established in 1990, provides a full range of services, tailored

the Arts Advancement Program and a Technical Assistance Specialist to the

Don't Run Out of Time! Register now for CCI Time Management Workshop
To register: www.cciarts.org/losangeles.htm or call (213) 687-8577.
WHERE DID THE TIME GO? TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them
yourself. (Andy Warhol)
Time Management for Artists is designed to help you recognize and perhaps
reconsider your personal concept of time. During this workshop you will gain
a clear understanding of how you currently use your time in order to best
determine how you really want to spend those hours available within any
given day. You will receive practical management methods, skills and
techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, managing
frequent distractions and interruptions, and prioritizing yourself and your
artwork. Goal setting and action planning are key to time management
success. In-class activities will highlight how to budget your time wisely
and most effectively for you. More effective planning will enable you to
spend more time doing what will ultimately lead you towards achieving your
personal and professional goals and objectives.
Judith Teitelman brings 25 years of experience in helping grassroots and
mid-sized organizations and large institutions strengthen their management
and fundraising capacities and plan for a sustainable future. She is a
strong proponent of management initiatives designed to examine and challenge
long-standing assumptions about arts administration, and is committed to
helping organizations rethink “business as usual.” Her national consulting
practice, established in 1990, provides a full range of services, tailored
to meet the unique vision and particular needs of each organization. Ms.
Teitelman has served as a Planning Consultant to the National Endowment for
the Arts Advancement Program and a Technical Assistance Specialist to the
Los Angeles County Arts Commission. A sampling of clients includes East West
Players, CalArts Community Arts Partnership, PEN Center USA, LA Freewaves
New Media Festival, the Redlands Bowl and SideStreet Projects, among many
