Jessica Robinson is the Executive Director of CounterPULSE, a nonprofit that provides support and low cost resources for emerging artists, serving as an incubator space to create socially relevant, diverse, community-based art. She has written dozens of successful grant proposals, hundreds of press releases, and advised artists in all disciplines on the "how-to's" of self-production. Sessions take place at CounterPULSE 1310 Mission @ 9th in San Francisco About Boot Camp for Artists with Jessica Robinson:“ "Jessica is among the most concise, thorough, and enthusiastic presenters I have ever met. The information she shared was based on years of diligent experience. Her generosity in offering it so freely truly feels like an honor and a gift. This is information that is vital to any self-producing artist, and no one else is teaching it. With the skills and information I received in class, the scale of what I am capable of as a self-producing artist has grown exponentially. I can envision an infrastructure and potential for my company that I could never have seen with such detail (never mind enacted) at the beginning of class." -- Daniel Bear Davis, director/choreographer/performer "Who else shares the secrets of how they got where they are? It's radical community-based organizing to help artists get the skills to navigate the art world. Jessica does an amazing job sharing a lot of information in a short period of time, and making it all personally relevant to each student's situation." -- K. Quilo Matzen, Change of State Performance Project "Jessica Robinson is a force to be reckoned with! She makes the business side of the arts clear and accessible and less daunting. There is something to be gained at any point in your career. Jessica Robinson and the tools she teaches in this course promote a professionalism that does not compromise the spirit of the arts." -- Janine Trinidad, Dancer/Choreographer, Arts Administrator "This is the only course in the Bay Area that addresses all areas of self-production and gets you off and running in three weeks with a set of goals, both long and short term, that you have the confidence to complete." -- Leigh Riley, Choreographer, The Riley Project "I learned more in 3 days that in many years of self-producing art. It's a must do for anyone interested in creating art for his/her community" -- Ernesto Sopprani, Marketing Director, SF Boylesque "I have attended no less than four art institutions for higher learning and NONE of them even approached this essential training. It is INVALUABLE" -- Emily Park, interdisciplinary performance artist, Ethaerial Arts "This course is super-packed with information including priceless personal tidbits you can't find without spending 7 years (as Jessica has done) learning and building relationships. I can't imagine spending $250 better on my career." -- Laura Bishop, dancer/choreographer, Executive Director, 418 Project
