13. “I see myself using the practical tools (how to keep things, setting manageable goals...etc...) and also reaching out to my resources and contacts that I’ve met... It also made me feel like I could involve more people in my studio practice by bouncing ideas off an archivist or having them be involved in the studio!”

14. "Learning more about preserving creative legacies will enable me to help myself and others. For artists who really care about what they are building with their lives and work, this series of presentations is immeasurable. Maybe the most important event I have attended as an artist." "I have a level of self-worth a few notches than before due to the knowledge: 'Wow! people in the field really care about my work at some level.'"

15. Artist Feedback During lunch panel, make discussion groups smaller or have at least 2 archivists who can give feedback. Perhaps how to match your archives to local state national archives best suited for your work/practice/history
