Monday, May 10, 12noon, this on-line event requires advance registration

For this month’s “Business of Art” webinar, we are excited to welcome Merjin van Der Heijden, Director of Urban Arts Space. We will chat with Merjin about her experience running one of the most celebrated arts spaces in Columbus as well as her thoughts on professional practices for artists, including website development, grant writing, self-care, marketing, and more.

Merijn van der Heijden studied at Akademie voor Beeldende Vorming, in Tilburg, The Netherlands, where she completed her BFA degree in Art; she received her MFA in Art from The Ohio State University. In her current role as Director of Urban Arts Space, her recent interests have included strategic planning and strengthening university and community partner relationships in an effort to challenge perceptions, deepen learning, and increase access to exhibitions and programs at Urban Arts Space and Hopkins Hall Gallery.

Merijn appreciates keeping her hands in artistic practice while also helping shape and contribute to faculty art research and student success by providing hands-on arts-related experiences for the university community.

A huge thank you to Heartland Bank and Greater Columbus Arts Council for supporting this year’s series.
