Hello from The Cedars Union!
We hope you are reading this message in good health and good spirits as we close out the month and a particularly odd summer. The Cedars Union Annex and the Boedeker next door have been buzzing with activity. We and our artists are on the brink of many things.
Did you get a chance to listen to any of our virtual Q&As or webinars this month? We offered some great content, which can be accessed through our YouTube channel. If you have a business, or are just interested in how Google’s search engine works, check out the SEO webinar Edgar Cardoze gave this week. It was fascinating stepping into the shoes of the robots that guide our daily (hourly?) searches.
This September we’ll continue webinars, with the return of Art Counsel Texas’s Lunch+Learn, and focus on online art education. Small scale workshops for our member artists will continue so that they can best use The CU.
Want a tour of our facilities? We are now offering one-on-one tours scheduled in advance. You can sign up here.
