For this episode of NCECA 360 we have a panel discussion from our two thousand thirteen conference in Seattle, WA. You will hear Tip Toland, Patti Warashina and Wally Bivins discuss making substantial and meaningful art. The wide ranging conversations looks at the role of passion, conviction and commitment in nurturing and maintaining an artist’s spirit over a lifetime of creative activity.

As a quick point of reference Richard Notkin was scheduled to be on this panel but unfortunately could not be in attendance that day. He was missed and as you will hear was spoken of fondly during the event. Both Richard Notkin and Patti Warishina will be featured as demonstrators for the 2016 NCECA conference in Kansas City, MO.
