	Artworking: Speed Networking for Artists April 19, 2012 Cleveland artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and idea-havers congregated for a wild evening of speed networking. This community-building event connected local artists for the purposes of friendship and creative collaboration. We worked with the staff at Light Bistro to develop a cocktail menu that was inspired by the favorite drinks of artists past. All proceeds from the evening were donated to the Marilyn Bianchi Kids' Playwriting Festival at Dobama Theatre to foster creativity and imagination in young playwrights. Artworking was generously sponsored by PavlishGroup, Cleveland experts in video, web design, marketing and development. Read the article about Artworking in Cool Cleveland.
