Workshops

To meet our members where they are, we have been developing and gathering asynchronous content that is available on demand! So, you may notice fewer live workshops than you’ve seen in the past, but we encourage you to visit our Digital Resources HUB for more tools and resources such as recorded workshops, ‘how-to’ guides, templates, and much more!!

Roundtables

A.R.T./New York members highly value the opportunity to meet with their colleagues in an informal and confidential setting. Our roundtables offer an opportunity for our members to ask each other's advice, share resources, and discuss challenges and achievements with peers who can relate. Throughout the course of a year, we strive to offer roundtables for a variety of topics and departments but we are always happy to hear from our members if you have ideas about potential Roundtables! All suggestions should be sent to [email protected].  

Virtual A.R.T./New York workshops, roundtables, and training feature automated captioning provided by Zoom. ASL interpretation and CART captioning services are available by request; requests must be made at least 5 business days before the event. For requests, accessibility information, or other accommodations, please contact Ashley J. Hicks at [email protected].
