SUMMARY:The Greek Diner and the Making of American Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:In this hour-long class\, we will explore the history of the Greek diner and its profound influence on American food culture. On the eve of World War I\, Greek immigrants began buying up the diners abandoned by German Americans facing anti-German persecution brought on by the war. In these kitchens\, the new Greek owners would adapt traditional German travelers’ fare with a touch of the Mediterranean and a pinch of entrepreneurial spirit. The result: A truly American way of cooking and eating.

SUMMARY:G-To-G Coaching Sessions: Marketing and Branding for Artists
DESCRIPTION:SSCAC is thrilled to partner with ILA Creative Studio for their G-to-G Coaching Sessions in a 3-part series of artist development resource workshops that intend to help close the gap of limited\, sustainable business resources\, specific to the needs of Black artists. \nEach session will is led by coaches and teaching artists who will provide insight on a specific topic\, with the intention of assisting Black artists to work toward achieving sustainability in their field. \nILA Creative Studio’s G-to-G Coaching Sessions are an opportunity for professional practicing artists (18+) to have space to learn and grow in their respective fields – led by a mentor or coach that provides specific insights on a specific topic. These sessions help to translate effective ways for Black artists to achieve sustainability in their fields. \nWe have some insights for you! \nSecond up\, “Marketing and Branding for Artists”\, led by Amanda Harth. Where she’ll cover all things branding\, marketing\, and art directing strategies for artists and creative entrepreneurs! \n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Christine Harth is a teaching artist\, researcher\, and entrepreneur. She explores the origin stories of fashion’s subcultures and her findings are presented through exhibitions\, discussions\, and interactive workshops. She was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago in the West Pullman neighborhood. She studied fashion at the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago and owned a clothing company that evolved into a resource for independent designers. \n“Connecting with people over the language of style and how others connect through garments has been a driving force behind my practice. My work is a constant study on the history of textiles and garments in underserved communities impacting change on a global economy. As my craft evolved I became more focused on the individuals in the garments and their stories. I want to create opportunities for people to connect and share their experiences with clothing.” \n\n\n\n\nWe’re excited to have Amanda and her expertise help guide you in the realm of marketing and branding\, for an afternoon of connecting and learning. \nVery limited spots are available. Stay tuned for our final workshop in January!
