Articulations Format:
Show and Share
Before we dive into our group discussions, we’re opening the floor for a community Show & Share. Think of this as a visual icebreaker. Participants are invited to bring their art, whether textile art, a painting, poem, ceramic, illustration etc. It’s your chance to see what your community members are making, begin dialogues, and to find common threads in our creative journeys. This is voluntary and no formal presentation required, you only need to bring your art, your ideas, and your story about your piece.
The Three Circles
Artist Practice: A space to discuss the "how" of making. We’ll talk about studio habits, overcoming creative blocks, experimenting with new materials and the evolving nature of our individual processes.
Community Focusing on the "where" and "who." This circle explores how we support one another locally, the importance of creative spaces, experiences within cooperation and collaboration, sharing our own stories and how we can build a more connected and inclusive art scene.
Culture & Contemporary A look at the "why." This circle dives into how our work fits into the current world, responding to contemporary trends and the role of art in reflecting or challenging today’s society.
Social Time
After our circle discussions, we’ll come back together collectively to further connect during. This is a space for informal chatting, a chance to follow up on a thought from the circles, swap contact info with a new peer, or simply enjoy the company of the creative community. Refreshments will also be served during this time as well.
