It is cold here in the Northeast U.S. Single digits, the sort of temperatures that make you want to take to your bed and hibernate until the birds start singing again. But artists know there’s no time to rest, not even in the depths of winter, because you – and you alone – are the author of your own career. So no matter where you are, no matter the weather, get out there and get those opportunities flowing. Here are a few to get you warmed up:
