As an actress, I am constantly looking for side jobs, in between gigs.
I was able to land a job I found on the link to The New York Foundation
of the Arts website. The job was a good network for me also since I
worked with other fellow artists.
Thanks so much for your comments Samantha!
It’s so encouraging to get feedback on whether our efforts are working or not. We as arts professionals are so busy and not everyone takes the time to respond.
We appreciate your presence at the meetings. Thanks for your contribution!
