Professional Development

We’re excited to continue expanding our Professional Development Sessions, designed specifically for FordLab Producers and their teams. These sessions are a cornerstone of the incubator program, reflecting our commitment to fostering the growth, development, and success of local producers, artists, and collectives.

Participation is mandatory as part of the program, and at least one representative from each producing partner must attend. At the end of each session, we’ll share a survey to gather your feedback and ensure the program is as effective and impactful as possible.

Stay tuned for the 2025 Professional Development Workshops.
